Iran is a nation where a single flag(that being the national flag of Iran) is the only valid and acceptable flag. The followings are only for presentational purposes. No ethnic flag has any validity in the nation of Iran. Although the flags of religious minorities such as Zoroastrians and Assyrians could be acceptable flags as these flag represent the followers of those religions across the globe.
As for the following flags, some have been used in the past such as the flag of Persians perhaps by opposition pro-Axis Persian Government based in Kermanshah during the period of WWI. The flag of Gilaki people is merely the flag of Nehzat-e Jangal(The Forest Movement) which also was used during WWI period and some years prior. The flag of the Kurds was also raised in 1946 during the establishment of Republic of Mahabad and ever since then has come to represent all Kurdish people across the world. The flag of the Azeri people shown here was raised in the years approximately 1918-1920s in areas located in modern West Azerbaijan province, note the similarity to the flag of Turkey.
Some other flags below such as that of the Qashqaei and Khalaj are symbolic flags and not commonly used by members of those ethnic groups.
Lastly the remaining flags have been raised by various separatist movement and organisations, these are aspirational flags used in their propaganda for their imaginary nations. These flags are only used by a small minority. Thus, ethnic flags do not exist in Iran and these flags have been collected from various websites to merely present them for the purpose of showing their colors and design.
Indo-Iranian people comprise of Persians(Farsi,Parsees,Tajiks,Taleshi,Gilaki and Mazandarani),Kurds(Sorani,Zaza,Kirmanji,Laki),Lurs(Luri and Bakhtiari),Alans(Ossetians and Alans),Pashtuns(Pakhtuns/Pashtuns and Pathans) and Baluchs. For more information visit Ethnologue website
