How much Arabian input is there in Iran?

[Haider]

By Iranians I mean solely Persians. Most of them tend to score around 5% Red Sea/Arabian, but I was quite shocked after having seen some score +10%. Are we able to quantify the Arabian input in modern Iran compared to their ancient counterparts?

Virtually none would be my guess.

56% according to National Genographic. That makes them more Arabian than Tunisians who only score 4%.

Obviously BS, no way are Iranians even remotely that Arabian. They seem to have used Arabian as an alternate name for Southwest Asian.

And the amount of South Asian and African they gave Iranians seems too high as well. NatGeo is just a commercial company like 23andMe and these results shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Really doubtful, considering how Iran was totally integrated into the Arab world during early Islamic days and Islamic Golden Age.

I don't know about genetics but most Persians i see in school are quite different than arabs (the ones from Kuwait and persian gulf region) but they all look middle eastern imo.

The Arabs in Iran remained isolated and in fact disliked Persians. They were also slaughtered everyone women, child, elderly by the Mongols. The Khorasani Arabs were all decimated. There is little to none Arab admix there. Anti-Iranian attitude is very common in Iraq and the Gulf, even among shia Arabs there. The slaughter of the Arabs by the Mongols is seen as treachery, but this more true of Iraq where anti-Persian sentiments are common since the Mongol and Safavid period until today, among the tribal Bedouin population even more so . That said the intermingling was the other way through Arabized Persians. Many Sunni Persians escaped to Iraq and the gulf for example. Many shia Persians settled in the shrine cities for example.

I'm still waiting for some Khorasani (Northeastern and Eastern Iran) samples. At least four grandparents from there.

As far as I know it's minor and mostly limited to the southern coast but I'm not entirely sure. Someone needs to do a formal academic study on this but given the lack of interest in this region and political sensitivity of the topic, I doubt it will ever happen.

A very little amount

The interpretation the news is extremely wrong. Southwest Asian does not denote Arabian admixture. It denotes Indo Aryan admixture.
