Persian is an ethnicity, Iranian is a nationality. Iranian nationals tend to be Persian but all Persians aren’t Iranian nationals.

I didn't get it. You mean there are Persians elsewhere but not necessarily from Iran though all Iranians are Persian?

Lol there isn’t, Persian is the historical term used for modern day Iranians, most will talk about their Persian ancestry as a way of claiming their descent from royalty, pride and it sounds a bit bigoted but their pure blood.

It's like if today's Italians decided to call themselves Romans right? Okay I'm getting it.
 
What's the difference between Persian and actual Iranian?
Well I’m Iranian and I live in Iran so let me tell you the difference.
About 80 or so years ago the name of my country was Persia, so the people were called Persians. But the problem was that Persia, or in our own language which is Parsi (Farsi), is one of the main lands and ethnics. But there are many other lands and ethnics that together they cover the whole country like Turks, Kurds, Lurs, Gilaks, Talishies and other smaller ethnics. So it wasn’t suitable to name a country based on the biggest land/ethnics. The last Shah/King changed the name to Iran (the land of Aryans/because the ethics of all the people here goes back to aryans).
Now, people use it as these: if they are from the land of Pars, cities like Shiraz, Isfahan, Tehran or Mashhad and so on, they call themselves Persians. Because they are from the land of Pars/Persia. They are both Persian and Iranian. Persian because their land is called Persia and Iranian because the country is Iran. On the other hand, the others call themselves Iranians. They may be Iranian Turk, or Iranian Kurd, or Iranian Gilak. Just because other ethnics of Iran aren’t well-known for other countries, they just say their Iranians.
I myself am a mix of Ukrainian and Gilak. So I’m not Persian. I’m Iranian. Cause I was born and live in Iran. My mother’s Gilak, and my father’s Ukrainian.
Ask any question you have. I’d love to help if I can.

The light green area is Persia. So the people from that part are Persians. I’m from the part in the north on the coast of Caspian sea, the darker green. Which people are Gilaks.

I live in India and i am from Parsi community who were ancient Persians and we follow Zoroastrian religion which was the pre-Islamic Iranian religion and many of our community settles in India and around the world after fleeing persecution....infact many of our last names end in "Irani" (meaning from Iran)....but we are not Iranians because we are not from the present day Iranian....but from the Persia...which was before Islamic Iran....so i can call myself Parsi or Persian-blood but not Iranian....Do you get what i am saying???....

I think he’s one of us. Come for me all you want
I truly wish you are right but I know life does not work out that way for me lol. I have been in love with him long before he ever dated Brit. When he only had a few thousand followers. I was there since the beginning. lol.

If anything, he might be bi. He seems kinda like he's into kinky stuff. Obviously I have no idea. It's just my imagination talking.

He is truly the most perfect man out there. He is just breathtaking.
