AL Ahwaz, Arab Region Occupied BY Iran.
By Rania Ahwaziah. November 8/2026
AL Ahwaz is not an Iranian province; it is an occupied Arab State. It lies on the eastern bank of the Arabian Gulf, covers 372,000 square kilometers, and its people are authentic Arabs. It had its own Emir, its own State, and its own flag before Iran occupied it in 1925 with British complicity, after arresting its Emir, Sheik Khazal Al-Kaabi.
AL Ahwaz is the richest land in the Middle East. It contains more than 90% of Iran’s oil and gas, the Karun River and other freshwater rivers, and fertile agricultural lands. Yet its people live poor and deprived, without water, without jobs, and without education in their Arabic language.
Iran is trying to erase our identity. It bans our Arabic names, bans our language in schools, changes the names of our cities, brings in Persian settlers to change our demography, and executes our youth on fabricated charges.
But despite 101 years of occupation, the Ahwazis have not forgotten their identity. They still say: we are Arab Ahwazi, our land is Arab, and our cause is the liberation of a homeland and achieving our independence.
AL Ahwaz is the cause of a nation, and liberation is coming.
