Modern Day Iraq

I heard Marsh Arabs are probably the genetically closest to Chaldeans and Babylonians. And that some Iraqi Arabs chart closer to Iranians then other Arabs, though that might be implicating that they are Arabized Iranians considering that Baghdad and most of Central and Eastern Iraq were considered literal parts of Pars/Far/Persia for a long ass time before the rise of the Arabs.

They're descended from Arabian tribes

No ancient ones, but Umayyad and later.

Arabized Babylonians + different tribes that occupied irak since.

I had an Iraqi Arab friend who came from a very influential tribe. He's naturally light-skinned (pretty pale because he doesn't go outside) relatively small nose. Black hair but his beard has ginger hairs funnily enough. Quite tall for an Iraqi. His sister looks like she could pass for a European.

Just wondering is there a connection with how influential and powerful a tribe is/was and how their people look?

I trained with an interpreter from Baghdad. He had auburn hair and light skin and quite european looking.

>while each population shows evidence of connections with expansions that now define the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, many of the populations in the Middle East show distinctive mtDNA and Y-haplogroup characteristics that indicate long standing settlement with relatively little impact from and movement into other populations.

This is very interesting. I think it may help in answering your question OP. Also It sort of squashes any genetically motivated "Arab Nationalism" movements.
