Iranian Colombians

Iranian Colombians (Spanish: Iraníes-colombianos) are Colombian citizens of full or partial Iranian ancestry, or Iranian-born person residing in Colombia. The Iranian diaspora in Colombia is one of the newest and recent immigrants arriving from the Middle East, although Iran is not considered an Arab country. The first Iranians to arrive in Colombia occurred in the late 1990s, fleeing from the Iran-Iraq war and arriving to the nation with 100 Persian families.
