Iranians are an Aryan people, and Arabs are a Semitic people. Persian (Farsi) is an Indo-European language, Arabic is a Semitic language. There are Arabs in Iran (primarily along the coast of the Persian Gulf), but they are immigrants and families of people who emigrated from Arab countries. Iranian Persians are the descendants of the population of the Persian Empire.

I have a feeling that the Iranian history is Persian, rather than Arabic. It's a different culture. I could well be wrong though.

Iranians and Arabs are very heavily appropriate the two genetically and anthropologically. it incredibly is very genuine once you're taking Levantine Arabs into attention.

You pit an Arab next to an Iranian and maximum folk in Europe ought to no longer p.c.. the two camel jocks aside. you're like lost cousins! As for locating ''Aryan'' such as you rug-munchers save harping on approximately, nicely, the actuality of the priority is that cutting-side Ashkenazi Jews have greater Aryan ancestry than you, so your Iranian nationalism form of backfires there. As for the state of your cutting-edge Islamic regime, you attain what you sow including your person hands as permit's no longer ignore it became your person forefathers who chosen Islam by ability of vote casting for the Mullahs interior the Islamic Revolution of Iran. final analysis? Iranians are no longer White yet rattling you such as you have been because of the fact we are the final! Now pass shave your unibrow, camel, and be long previous foul stench!

because they are different nations , they are from different races. The only common point between them is Islam ,most arabs are suni but most iranians are shia.
One of the worst things you can ever do to Iranian is to call him or her Arab.

I think that if you labelled Arabic, it means you come from no particular area. Iranians have a very long history and want to be associated with that, like Egyptians.
