The Iranian data from different countries sources

Reader comment on item: Did the CIA Fiddle with Iran's Population Statistics?

Submitted by Oleh (Ukraine), Feb 21, 2019 at 11:06

The Russian Wiki says:
Официальные сведения об этническом составе населения отсутствуют.
my translation:
There are no official data on the ethnic composition [of Iran].
CIA Word Factbook data follows.

The Persian Wiki supplies the ethnicity and religions map (in English!)
from the same CIA Word Factbook
If Russian's statement (There are no official data on the ethnic composition) is true
fiddlers can do (almost) anything
