The Chaldæan Oracles Attributed To Zoroaster
By William Wynn Wescott
Preface by Sapere Aude
THESE Oracles are considered to embody many of the principal features of
Chaldæan philosophy. They have come down to us through Greek translations
and were held in the greatest esteem throughout antiquity, a sentiment
which was shared alike by the early Christian Fathers and the later
Platonists. The doctrines contained therein are attributed to Zoroaster
through to which particular Zoroaster is not known; historians give notices
of as many as six different individuals all bearing that name, which was
probably the title of the Prince of the Magi, and a generic term. The word
Zoroaster is by various authorities differently derived: Kircher furnishes
one of the most interesting derivations when he seeks to show that it comes
from TzURA = a figure, and TzIUR = to fashion, ASH = fire, and STR =
hidden; from these he gets the words Zairaster = fashioning images of
hidden fire;—or Tzuraster = the image of secret things. Others derive it
from Chaldee and Greek words meaning "a contemplator of the Stars."

Did he preach in the worship of only one God? Did he believe in the prophets who came before him? Did he receive any revelations from God or any of His powerful Archangels...?
The Qur'an states that there are prophets that we know of, and others that have not been mentioned, so if ALL of the above statements are true, then it is possible that he could be a warner, a prophet, or possibly a messenger...
However, Bahaii's believe he is a "Manifestation of God", so here would be one contradiction...

No.
Although Zoroastrians are considered people of the book in Iran and are considered a "protected" minority.
Zoroaster did preach the worship of one God, Ahura Mazda, and the religious scripture of the Zoroastrians is the Avesta.

I never heard of him, so I can't say yes but can't say no too since we don't know the names of all prophets that preceded Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

They barely allow them to exist in Iran, so I would have to say no...

Zoroaster, or Zarathustra, is not mentioned in the Qur'an, hence no.
