Abstract
Some of the Arabic states writers having published maps, articles and books tried to change the names of Khozestan and this Iranian province's cities into Arabic names and claimthat Khozestan is an Aravic land. Some of the leaders of Arabic countries also have supported this claim. In this article, having referred to old historical texts, we have attempted to show that from the inception of history up to now the name of this part of Iran has been Khozestan and indeed this province has always been an important part of Iranian territory. Then, we have talked about Moshashaieyan and Banikaab indicating IRAN and actually were influenced by Iranian culture and civilization and, as a result, left off killing, robbery and brigandism. Their leaders were also loyal to the Irans central government, having been appointed by the Iranian government to render services in the regions which were residing.
