 I ve never heard

well, safavids beginning from Shah Abbas I is the best one I think, He could destroy Ottoman armies near Tabriz and made Iranian territory the same as it was in Sassanid

Before him, World considers Saffavids as a turkish or turkic whatever u call that.

they are called Arsacid from Arsaces their first king, but called Parthia by the Romans because of the province in Iran they emerged from, in the same way the Ach. were called Persian due to Pars province. should definately use the dynasty rather than the region tho (I blame it on Rome Total War for my lapse )
