Khuzestan

Machine-translated from the German article

Chuzestan (Persian خوزستان, DMG Ḫūzestān, from Old Persian [h]Ūvjiya; German also Khusistan and Chusistan, English Khuzistan), also Persian عربستان, DMG ʿArabistān, is a historical region whose core area today forms the southwestern Iranian province of Khuzestan with the capital Ahvaz. The historical Khuzestani territory extends from the Zagros Mountains in Iran to the east bank of the Tigris in present-day Iraq. In the south it reaches into the area around Shiraz and in the north into the Iranian province of Ilam.
