Iranians are mostly Muslims and a couple have some Arab ancestry, especially Southern Iranians. There's no direct Indian influence in Iran but India has some Iranian generic and cultural influence also they're linguistically closely related so I say 50/50

I think so. But what is the point? Indians are for more than 50% eastern Eurasian.

Iranians are mostly western Eurasian, like the Semitic Arabs/Jews. I'm sure that the native Europeans are also closer to the Arabs and other Semites than to the Indians. Arabs are considered 'Caucasoid', while Indians are not considered 'Caucasoid' because of their eastern Eurasian (Dravidian etc.) admixture.

Agreed their history is closely interwind with Arabs and they also share geopolitics with them , but India also had close contact with Central Asia untill creation of Pakistan cordoned it from Central Asia , there is Iranian influence in Central Asia so that's where there is a link.

Neither one of them. Especially having north-western iranian ancestry.
