"Exiles in the City of Angels: Los Angeles Becomes Unlikely Hub for Iranian Community. Los Angeles has long been a melting pot of cultures, but a new report reveals that the city has become an unlikely home for one of the largest Iranian diaspora communities outside of Iran. With an estimated 500,000 to 750,000 Iranians calling Los Angeles home, the city's Iranian population has surpassed that of other major cities around the world. From the bustling streets of Westwood to the upscale neighborhoods of Beverly Hills, Los Angeles's Iranian community is thriving, with vibrant cultural centers, restaurants, and shops that reflect the rich heritage of the nation. But what draws Iranians to the City of Angels, and what impact is this community having on the city's cultural and economic landscape?"


Los Angeles, California is the largest group of Iranians outside Iran.
