Needless to say, the mullahs are not happy with Persian Zoroastrian culture.

Seeing as you are dumping "Iranian," why not both?

"Zoroastrian culture."

Great point! But the people today are generally referred to as Persians.
But Zoroastrian is their culture, yes indeed.

There are few if any Zoroastrians left in Iran. Most of the extant Zoros are, I believe, in India.

Because Persia is the name of the country and culture.

Zoroastrian culture would deal with the religious culture only.

And not all of them were Zoroastrian. A rather large number used to be Christian and Jewish.
