The Islamic Republic of Iran—which would be better known as the Islamic Occupation Regime—has for over thirty years championed itself as the “Palestinian” Arabs greatest supporters in the Islamist quest to extirpate the State of Israel from the world. Yet, while the non-Arab, Persian Shi’ite regime demonizes Israel and “Zionists” twenty four hours a day, it aligns itself with the Arab Sunni fundamentalist terror gang called Hamas, while also aligning itself with the Arab Shi’ite terrorist gang - Hizbullah - which has a strangle hold on Lebanon.

Why no talk of “self-determination,” “inalienable rights,” and “autonomy,” for the Khuzistani Arabs?

Because they are citizens of Iran, living within internationally recognised borders. If the Palestinians of the West Bank had the same rights and were integrated into the Israeli state with citizenship, then there would be no "occupation." The Iranian Arabs, when they move to different parts of the country such as Tehran, tend to lose their Arab identity. This isn't possible, between Palestinians and Israelis.
