Some consider the situation to be in crisis and some consider it to be a minimal crisis. On the other hand, the Islamic Republic of Iran has always sought to form a religious-political identity even beyond the national borders. This approach requires the best discourse of ethnic identities. This article, which is the result of a research at the level of five Iranian ethnicities, i.e. Turks, Kurds, Arabs, Baloch and Persians, and seeks to measure the components of this ethnic discourse among five Iranian ethnicities. This research is considered to be applied and quantitative in terms of method.
