Kuruni (Persian: کرونی) is a Kurdish tribe in Fars province, southern Iran.
[2] After the end of the Zand dynasty, the tribe was forcefully moved by Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar[3] and joined the Kashkollu Qashqai tribal confederacy, gradually becoming Turcophone and Shia.
By the beginning of the 1900s, parts of the tribe moved to the Beyza valley northwest of Shiraz, while others moved to Shiraz city and founded the neighborhood of Koruni.
[1] When the central government began their anti-Qashqai policies in the 1960s, the tribe asserted their Kuruni identity.
