Looking for information regarding my Haplogroups.

Hey guys. I couldn't find much information about my haplogroups.

My haplogroups are M30 and R-L266 (Paternal). Is R-L266 found in Europe? Asia?

It's R2a. Found in West, Central and South Asia.

One popular example, Indian Prime Minister Nehru was a R2a.

What exactly do haplogroups even prove exactly? Do they even work for people with mixed ethnicities?

It indicates the exact biological paternal lineage no matter with whom the person is mixed. People can have different autosomal data but same paternal lineages and vice versa. It fits pretty fine for your Iranic lineage.

"Ancient samples of haplogroup R2a were observed in the remains of humans from Neolithic, Chalcolithic and Bronze Age Iran and Turan; and Iron Age South Asia. R2a was also recovered from excavated remains in the South Asian sites of Saidu Sharif and Butkara from a later period.[7]"
