Do Iranians (note that I'm asking about real Iranians, not Western diaspora) have more cultural similarity with the Middle East, or Europe or South Asia?
In the following centuries when the Islamic regime is dead, who do you see them allying with (barring similar nations)

What about genetically? I've seen evidence of them being white but literally all my Iranian mates are as brown as sand nigs.
>Russia
Why?
Historically, Iran had long been a playground for Turks, so that I think it has similarity to Turkey, temporarily looking like Arabs because of Islamic revolution.

nuh, only a small numbers of those made Persia were white as pic(Alans, who were Eastern Iranian nomads that had lived in Kazakh steppe.)
and dominated local southern caucasians and spread their Indo-European Persian language.

They are already part of the shanghai union, and they have ports that can be useful for the russians trade

Depends on region. Whole Western and Coastal part of country is definitely easy to mistake for Arab land,both facially and culturally. East and Southeast definitely seem more close to Afghanistan,Pakistan and India.
Majority of Iranian youths are obsessed about USA and hate Russia since they cucked them several times and stole their lands,so they will definitely become US satelite state again.

Iran's been conquered a lot more than they've conquered. Which is also the peril of occupying an important geographical crossroads.
