Iranians can frequently be identified by the “the size of the sail”, but there are a mix of people in their makeup. It’s probably a “recessive” in every population.

Perhaps, you do but many don’t. There’s nothing wrong with being informed. Thank you!

No problem. I am most sorry for the Arab Iranians. They really got the shaft.

Saddam Hussein was relying heavily on Irans 2% Arab populace on the border with Iraq in Khuzestan (70% or more of Irans oil is located there), however, the Iranian Arabs fought harder against Saddam than even the Persians. No amount of Arab sentiment worked because they see themselves as Iranians first.

So Iranians are definitely not Arabs. You bet your Farsi.

That they are. I worked with a guy from Iran and I made the very poor choice of asking him if he was Iranian. The little man darn near took my head off. He turned red in the face and started yelling “I’m Persian damnit”.

I always figured the difference was that some Iranian women are really hot and Arab women....well not so much.

Here's the bottom line. As a poster above listed, there are Persians, Turks, Kurds, Armenians, Circassians, Azerbaijanis, Baluchis, Copts, Assyrians, Phoenecians, Berbers, Chaldeans, and on and on. You'd have to be an anthropologist to keep them straight, and a lot of Americans have not chosen that to be their field of study. They're too busy earning a living for their families.
Americans are generally a “live and let live” bunch (always exceptions, so I'm not saying it's true of all Americans).The only ones who trouble us, and we therefore must learn more about, are the ones who want to destroy us. If the Copts are out to destroy us, that's news to me.
When it comes to most Arab countries, Persia and the Afgans/Paks, that's a distinction without a difference. When it comes to existential threats, we'll treat all comers equally (we're at war and in the end, we'll kill them, but only if we have to), which is where non-Americans seem to get this belief that we're ignorant.

But they ARE Shiites, one of the nuttier parts of a religion that is plain nuts anyway.

Ok, Iranians aren’t Arabs, but they are Muslims, and Islam ruins every race it infects. So, now what?
