Most Iranians are Persian. Persians are not white.

Persians are Aryan.

Americans, regardless of albedo, are American.

Persians may have been white at one point in time (several thousand years ago), but time and all the race mixing since then from the Mongol and Arab invasions have pretty much wiped that out of existence.



Today, in some rare minority cases, you will see the genetic legacy of the ancient white Persians with phenotypical expressions such as blue eyes or blond hair and lighter skin.

There is nothing "Aryan" about today's Persians, except for their language classification.
