Ministry of Iran?

Why is an Iranian source taken over the actual American source? It shouldn't be in the header at all, this is an american article and american sources say there are half a million Iranians. It should be a footnote down in the article, not up top where an obviously biased government would want to claim there are many iranians in american.71.191.159.69 (talk) 22:00, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Enlighten me, what makes this an "American article"? PRAXIDICAE🌈 22:01, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pro-Iranian Bias in this Article

The fact that Iranian Americans are more "successful" by some socio-economic measures is likely due to the specific conditions that allowed for travel and immigration of only a very narrow selection of people. I've tried to edit this article and it's been reverted to the original. I think it's important to note that many Iranian Americans are political refugees--not economic ones. Or they are related to or descendants of pre-1979 Iranians with student visas--again a relatively privileged and highly selective group. Damoname (talk) 20:13, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
