The Elamites were an Iranian people located in Susa, in what is now Khuzestan province. Their language was non-semitic, and they were the precursors of the Persian-Medes empire that later appeared. The proto-elamites lived even as far back as 5500BC in Iran. See remains here.

Jiroft (Aratta?) Kingdom, (~2500BC) The recent archeological findings at Jiroft have uncovered an "independent, bronze age, civilization with its own architecture and language" that have led some archeologists to speculate it to be the remains of the lost Aratta Kingdom. 1 (http://www.saudiaramcoworld.com/issue/200405/what.was.jiroft..htm)
The Medes were an Iranian people. The Persians, a closely related and subject people, revolted against the Median empire during the 6th century BC.

Macedonian Dynasty
(The Seleucid Dynasty gradually lost control of Persia. In 253 BC, the Arsacid Dynasty established itself in Parthia. The Parthians gradually expanded their control, until by the mid 2nd Century BC, the Seleucids had completely lost control of Persia. There were more Seleucid rulers of Syria and, for a time, Babylonia, after Antiochus IV, but none had any effective power in Persia).
