Really? I think the main difference is between muslims and christians. arabic-speaking muslims such as palestinians certainly consider themselves arab; christians generally dont even though they are arabic speaking. Colonialist tacticts to separate arabs into levantines saudis iraqis etc - it is funny since these countries even did not exist before and the muslim-arab identity was overwhelming. Here in the west people won't/can't make difference between arabs and "levantines" anyway, especially if they are muslins.
Mostly it is north africans who are genetically and look-wise different (from both arabs and "levantines"), more than Iranians are.

A country like Iraq is very diverse because the borders are not natural. Many are bedouins with arabian origin so they must be close to saudis with the same ancestry. On the other hand there are blacks, kurds, turkmens, assyrians, persians etc living their historically. Same for syria.

Closer to Saudis genetically and culturally than we are to Persians. I bet we are much closer to even Egyptians than Persians. Only certain localities have Persian influence Najaf and Karbala, and parts of Baghdad, but Baghdad is hodgepodge. Persian genes were brought by various Turko-Persian invasions like Afshars, Safavids, and such. Many of our tribes often claim Yemenite and North Arabian origins and often proclaim their Bedouin identity with pride. Also Western Iraqis don't intermix with other ethnic non-Arab groupsl. We intermix with Syrians and Jordanians mostly. My mom is from western Iraq and she is partially Jordanian Howeitat Bedouin from Petra. I feel more warmth and kinship with Saudis than I do with Iranians. Also our traditional clothing is very much the same for both male and females. My mom genetically is very close to Yemenite Jews and Saudis, nothing Iranic about her lol.
Iraqi Kurds are culturally and genetically close to Persians, I believe the same might be of Turkmens.

lebanese, syrians, and northeastern iraqi's are probably closer to persians than southern semites, maybe also israeli's but im not sure.
Jordanians, Kuwaiti's, southern iraqi's, and some palestinians are probably closest to southern semites.

It's quite strong among Palestinians.... Even among many Christians.
