Are Persians a tribe? Which tribe are Persian Jews a part of?



Yes. The old Persians were one of the major tribes who lived in the Iranian plateau circa 1000 BCE.


"Persian" is a historical mistake started by Herodotus, Iran was Iran from the begining. start to learn the proper name after a long time 2500+ years is a long time.


You are correct that Iran has always been called Iran (Eraan).

Persians refer to the sub-set of Aryanman of Eran-Zameen ["Land of Arya"] that settled in the general area of the province of Fars (Perse) and after the overthrow of the Median Aryanman (likely forefathers of the Kurds) ascended the world stage [1].

Are you saying "Iranian" is the correct term for all the people living in past and present day Iran? Because that's...wrong.
