Notable tribes include the Tanūk, Asad, Nezār, Bakr, Tamīm, and Taḡleb. During Shapur II's reign, several clans were relocated to regions like Kerman and Fars due to their activities in the Persian Gulf. Following the Arab conquest, many tribes settled in Iran, with the Lakhmids playing a key role as Sasanian vassals. Over time, tribes like the Bahāʾ-al-dīnī and Šīrī were absorbed into larger confederacies, but many, especially in Khuzestan, have retained their distinct identities. For more information about the history of tribes in Iran, see Arab Tribes of Iran and other publications listed above.[1][2] |
