Overview

The term Iranian citizens abroad or Iranian/Persian diaspora refers to the Iranian people born in Iran but living outside of Iran with their children. By most estimates, about three million Iranians live in North America, Europe, Persian Gulf States, Turkey and Australia (2008). For the most part they emigrated after the Islamic revolution in 1979. Their combined net worth is $1.3 trillion (2006 est.). In 2000, the Iran Press Service reported that Iranian expatriates had invested between $200 and $400 billion in the United States, Europe, and China, but almost nothing in Iran. In Dubai, Iranian expatriates have invested an estimated $200 billion (2006). Migrant Iranian workers abroad remitted less than two billion dollars home in 2006.
