Atypical Iranians.

[Zeus]

Interesting comment. He is a Turkmen and looks like one. Tbh imo there is almost no overlap between Indians s and Turkmens.

does he? I don't know what Turkmen look like to any significant extent so I'll take your word on that one.... he doesn't look like any Iranian I've seen is what I really meant to say

[Kyp]

Are you talking about me lol???????

I'm not going to lie to appease you... I know Iranians and I've been to Iran, so don't try to tell me that this guy is so atypical that he has to be an arab... he's not what I would describe as a typical Iranian at all, nor is he what I would describe as atypical... the first two I would describe as atypical for sure though

Again, not a typical persian, but not atypical either IMO.

You're an Azeri so the Iranians you know look different. this guy would not be atypical among the many Iranians I know from Esfahan for example... he would be atypical as a luri-baktiari though or as a mazandarani

it's all good I agree he can pass as atypical southwestern Persian

They're not atypical in Southern Iran.

The 1st guy is from kerman, IMO his type exists but not typical even in southern iran. Maybe in the coastal region better fit. Anyways IMO not typical but Iranian looking

[Negah]

They don't look Arab or Indian to me but distinctly Iranians just a darker version.

I agree. The 1st and 3rd one look Iranian but darker Iranians

2nd guy is a Turkmen Iranian

I think every place has typical type and atypical types. Iran is no exception

IMO they are typical SW, SC, and some of them SE Iranians. They can also pass in other parts of Iran but perhaps atypical. I think the users saying they are atypical Iranians have either grown up outside of Iran or have spent little time in Iran.

Same thing with Iraq. Many here don’t realize that southern Iraqis are also on average darker than many north Indians. Iraq is an interesting country because there is a boundary that runs north to south. People to the east of that boundary are persianized arabs and very Indian looking. To the west of the boundary more typical arab looking. You can easily spot the more persianized and more negroid Iraqis from these pictures

I still think the 3rd one looks arab. He would make a good gulf arab prince. Just because he has a Lur surname doesn't mean he isn't admixed with arabs, considering the city he is from. His lips are very arab. But I agree i'm not a good person to make these assumptions about iranians since I only have contact with azeris and northern iranians. There might be a certain overlap of southwestern iranians and arabs.

Name: Arash. Singer from Sweden.

Arash Labaf was born in Tehran, Iran. At age ten, he and his family moved to Sweden, where he still resides. In an interview with BBC Persian Television, he has mentioned that his mother and father are from the Iranian cities of Shiraz and Isfahan, respectively.[1] Also in one of his interviews, he stated his great grandfather is Iranian Azerbaijani.[2][3]

Name: Arash. Singer from Sweden.

he has both azeri and persian heritage

Edit: his great grandfather is azeri. It just became an issue because he performed for Rep.Azerbaijan in the Eurovision once.

I mean these things are subjective. Typical or atypical types differ from person to person. His lips and ears are a bit odd tbh

He may very well be mixed Arab Iranian

Once I met a boy from Kerman and he seamed like pakistani or north indian.

On the other hand one time I met an iranian that seamed european, pale skin, red beard and hair.
