Europeans are not “Aryans” unless you wanna go by Hitler’s definition of Aryan, which is very different to the Iranian one.

Iranian is a nationality, with many Iranic races falling into that broad nationality. Iranic relates to both race and ethnic/native language/dialects spoken by Kurds, Persians, Balouchis, those from northern provinces of Iran around the Caspian Sea, and many others ethnic grps in Iran.

Btw, Arabs who mostly hate the existence of Israel as a nation state, the middle-eastern Jews and Israelis are also Semites!

Though I agree that today’s world is very much twisted.

Semites being a language rather than race based definition. More Amharic and Tigrinya semites in the world than Hebrews, though Arabs win the prize.

That's what I meant by "outdated classifications". I don't disagree with you, but I wouldn't credit Hitler with coming up with the notion. Here's a map showing the "races" in that time:
