The 1979 Iranian ethnic unrest was a wave of ethnic tensions in Iran in the aftermath of the Iranian Revolution which varyingly resulted in protests and rebellions against the new Iranian government. Some of the rebellions were fully separatist while others were autonomist or just demanded increased rights. The unrest was eventually quelled.
