2. They a separate group that simply ruled Iran for a while. Doesn't make us Turkish. Few Iranians appreciate being called Turkish.

nobody's saying there aren't people of Arabic/Semite descent in Iran. South-western Iran is full of arabs, espeically in regions bordering Arabic countries. Western Iran has Kurdistan, home to Kurds (another separate race), and There are a l o t of turks in iran. especially in the north-western regions of Azarbaijan.
But, the majority of Iranians are white. they're literally classified as Caucasian. same as a majority of Europeans.

If by "iranian" you mean "Persian", yes.
My mistake. I accidentally separated the two peoples (I mean, they're a different society alltogether, but the ethnicity is the same)

Actually, the "blond hair blue eyes" Aryan is actually completely different from the Iranian Aryan. Hitler's idea of Aryans are more Nordic and Germanic.

Arabic people are a linguistic group and are incredibly diverse ethnically, as are Turkic peoples.

You've basically grouped Natalie Portman and Haile Selassie together under the same race.

Aren't there actually blonde haired blue eyed Iranian people though?

Hitler's concept of the Aryans as a blonde Nordic invader race was certainly bogus either way.
