The Aryans were actually a mixed group of people; they weren't blonde-haired and blue-eyed.
So Germans and Iranians are not synonymous with each other.

The Iranians - the modern Persians, are made up of a mixed bag of folk but many are of Caucasian origin.
You may have been confused by the title [part there of] of the former Shah of Persia who was sometimes known as King of all the Arians.
The word arian is not just applicable to the Germans but also other 'white' race groups such as most Eruopeans including the Celts and lesser germanic barbarian tribes of Breten.

Historicly the Iairians (Iran: means land of the Iranians) are known to westerners as Persian becuase the Anatolian (Turkey-Modern) Greek Historian Horodatus (The Father of History) said (He quotes them making the claim.) that they were the desendants the Hero Persius (The same guy that killed Madusa.) Thus Iairians, and Persians are the same group which are the modern Iranians. The Persians in venture with the Meads (Also part of Modern Iran.) concquorded a vast land empire which streched from Ethiopia to India, under King (Shar) Cambisees the Persians invaded Sythea (The modern Ukrain which at the time was inhabited by a red haired and blue eyed people called the sythians (They were not Celtic.) which Horodatus claimed were the strogest men on earth and would have ruled the world had God given them witt to macte the might. This people was nomatic and the campainge ended in a quagmyer and the Persians left Europe only to reture to fight the Greeks (Common History) a century or so later. So the Persians never extended there empire into Europe. Nevertheless, Horodatus dose make mention of a white raced people that he encountered in europe which were dressed in Persian atire and claimed to be Persian colinists yet the historian comented that they looked nothing like the Persians but (spoke their touge-Ithink ?) Now when one meets an Iranian and an Indian (From Idust-a river- now in Pacastan-from which we also get the root word for "Hindu") one see the similarities in the racesial sence for many Indians look like white men painted black. And the Persians (Their President looks Arab.) many of them are white and have white features, while others look Arab after all they were conquored by the Arabs in the Islamic Invations. Note at the time of Christ the Sythians had controll of the land and these Mark Anony fought according to Pluatarch's biography of him. So they might also have gotten those features from them. One thing is certain Iran, India, and Germany do share an Indo-European Tough (The largest Language group on earth.) As for the argument that Iranians are related to Germans, I have only heard it from Iranians living in the US, never from a German.
Now Hitlers "Aryans" was a racial myth based on the foundations of European "Atlantis utopia cults" which were to drive western popular imagination in the 1800's. One of these cults placed the the superior race (Decendents of Atlantis) in modern day India and Tabet. Thus, when English and German Master race theorist (Dawinian-Anthropolgists),"Deamon Posessed Writers" (See: William L. Shires "The Rise and Fall of the Third Rhich"), and quacks got ahold of the Atlantis myths they took the name of the pure-bloods and incorparated it into their race theory thus the name "Aryan" to denote blue eyes (Eyes without pigment.) blond hair, and white skin was born. In sum the name was appropreated and that is the only conection that we know for sure. Who knows mabey the Germans and Iranians are akin-God knows I am sure.

I don't know. But I'll let you into a little secret. Black-haired Germans descend from Iranians who were mercenaries employed by the Romans to defend the northernmost frontiers of the empire. So there are historians who strongly believe in Hitler's Iranian ancestors.

We are all of middle eastern origins ,and at one time in the distant past Iranians were one of the most enlightened races in the world . Its just a pity that we moved on and they didn't, .And before i get any daft comments about racial issues , western civilisations are not so frightened of there manhood's that they have to keep there woman in subjection or have barbaric medieval punishments for transgresses , Or try by violence to subject others to there religion

Some Persians are of Caucasian extraction, as are many Indians and of course white Europeans. There was an original population that resided in the Caucus region around c.4,000 BCE It is from here where we derive the name "Caucasian".
