„Die Safawiden waren die direkten Erben der turkmenischen Dynastien der Schwarzen Schafe und der Weißen Schafe [Qara Qoyunlu and Aq Qoyunlu]mit dem sie zahlreiche Verbindungen hatten. Es wäre nicht falsch, den frühen Safawidenstaat als die dritte Stufe der turkmenischen Herrschaft in Persien zu betrachten.“
Vladimir Minorsky, Tadhkirat al-Muluk: ein Handbuch zur sicheren Verwaltung S. 30

Today we know that the designation “Turkmens” in the writings of 13th–14th century authors by no means had the narrow meaning it has today. For example, the Mamluk Kipchak sources of Egypt distinguish their language from that of the “Turkmens.” Moreover, the so-called “Turkmen” Safavid tribes of the 16th–17th centuries were in fact Azerbaijanis. In other words, “Turkmen” in earlier times was a general term for Oghuz Turks, primarily—though not exclusively—for those of the Islamic faith.

No educated and self-respecting person calls or should call those states Iranian only, and try to undermine the existence and governance of Iran by Turkoman (Azerbaijani) nation and culture since the 11th century.
Shah Ismayil would count being called Persian an insult.
