Born in Iran ? No
2 possibility.
- Either one's parents, both, father and mother are Iranian.
This will ensure a transfer of Iranian civilization (values and ethics and thinking) to the child.
- or anybody who is “raised” in Iran. Meaning from childhood to adulthood. This will ensure that Iranian mindset sinks in and is absorbed by the child.
Being born from American parents in Iran and spending a few yrs in American school and mingling with other American kids does not make one Iranian.
Many foreigners, many Japanese, Korean and other foreign staff were in Iran with their family and children born in Iran .. they no Iranian.
Being Iranian means having absorbed Iranian civilization and adapted Iranian mindset.
She no Iranian at all .. Zero Iranian.
Iranians endured many rulers, last 1000s of yrs, Monguls,Trukaman,Arabs and CIA plants, but Iranians digested them and still standing tall and strong,Mullahs also will pass too, they a footnote in Iranian history.
