==History==
In 2019, the Academy of Persian Language and Literature in Tehran declared Tajiks to be Persian speakers making former Tajikistan, most of former Afghanistan and predominantly Tajik parts of neighboring Uzbekistan part of Iran proper for all practical purposes. 
In 2026, the UIR ended the use of Cyrillic forcing Tajiks to use Perso-Arabic script to standardize spoken and written Persian across the country.
