Is it not the case that a nation can be multiethnic?

I don’t see how Iran’s multiethnic populace disqualifies it’s claim on a national identity (Shia Islam).

On the wiki page for multinational states, I find reasonable examples (Russia, Belgium, UK), and Iran is absent. [1] Does this have to do with the Kurdish nation claiming territory within Iran?

Not trying to say you’re wrong, just trying to understand the terminology better.
