Hazāra (Persian: هزاره‎) are a Persian-speaking people who mainly live in central Afghanistan. They are overwhelmingly Twelver Shia Muslims and comprise the third largest ethnic group of Afghanistan, forming about 9% (according to other sources up to 19%) of the total population. More than 650,000 Hazara live in neighbouring Pakistan (mostly settled in Quetta) and an estimated one million in Iran.

Balochistan (Balochi: بلوچستان) or Baluchistan (lit. Land of the Baloch) is an arid, desert and mountainous region on the Iranian plateau in south-western Asia, northwest of the Indian Ocean near the Persian Gulf. It mainly includes southwestern Pakistan, southeastern Iran and a smaller section of southwestern Afghanistan.

Belutschistan (persisch ‏بلوچستان‎) ist eine Region im Iranischen Hochland, die sich über den Osten Irans, den Süden Afghanistans und den Südwesten Pakistans erstreckt. Die Fläche beträgt etwa 300.000 km².
