Yeah. They also declared the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem an Aryan, even though Arabs are just as Semitic as Jews.
Apparently the words “Iran” and “Aryan” come from the same Indo-European root meaning, more or less “The Tribe”. Clearly the Iranians are Indo-Europeans and therefore Aryans, unlike the non-Indo-European Finns, Basques and Etruscians.
