Depends on which Iranians he is pandering to. There are the old Shah loyalists, who consider themselves pure Persians- they usually make goid citizens, very patriotic and pro-America. Then there are the more recent immigrants, who were sent here to spy on the former and do the bidding of the Ayatollas back home.
All I said is true about the people running Iran currently.
Does not mean that the people living here who's ancestors may have come from that area are all on board with that.
