They are very moderate, very interested in western culture, history, and ideals, and are way more “European” in their outlook than they are “Arabian”.

The result of almost 60 years of Westernization by the Pahlavi Dynasty. Even 30 years of Mullah tyranny couldn't eradicate the secularization, westernization and modernization that has taken place in Iran, despite all regime attempts to "islamize and arabize" society.
