"Xenophanes of Colophon described the Aethiopians as black and the Persian troops as white compared to the sun-tanned skin of Greek troops". I think the Iranians of antiquity probably resembled Greeks in pigmentation, but ofcourse their facial features were probably different.Their features today are likely heavily influenced by Mongol, Turkish, Arab, Greek invaders in the past 2000 years, but you can still find MANY Iranians in the North, especially the villages, that are likely mostly pure. The Iranian girl I posted in this link, https://www.theapricity.com/forum/showthread.php?285506-Classify-Iranian-girl, is what I imagine that ancient Iranians looked like to be honest.
