    In the thirteenth century, Lar briefly became a center of trade and Other Iranian peoples
    commerce in southern Persia.[2] Irahistan was nearly always an
    obscure region, never becoming involved in the politics and conflicts of mainstream Persia.[2] This
    was due to independent rule during the Safavid times, but that has failed due to the British Empire
    "Anti Piracy Company" and continued to decline due to Reza Shah Pahlavi's centric policies and the
    Ayatollah policies.[7] Ahmad Eghtedari noted in his book Ancient Larestan (1955):

    "To those people of the towns, villages, and ports of Larestan who have stayed in the land of their
    ancestors, with its glorious past and its desolate present. And to those who have endured the hardship
    of migration to earn a living on the islands of the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean and in the towns
    of India, Arabia and other places. They remember with joy their beloved birthplace and still grieve for
    its ruin."

    Achomi people refer to themselves as Khodmooni, a term literally meaning "part of ourselves"[1]
