Most Iranians identify more with Europe than the Arab world, and they call themselves Persians.
It would be cool and quite a boost to the people there if Trump started calling them Persians.
The mullahs would go nuts.

Actually some Iranians do not like to be called Iranians. They call themselves Persians. Well, the world ‘Iran’ has nothing to do with Islam(it is actually a more nationalist term,) but since Islamic Revolution in Iran, it carries Islamic connotation. Those who are against Islamic regime do not want to be associated with the word.
