modern day afghanistan was created by Ahmed shah Abdali who was pashtun , afghan in the past meant pashtun , now pakistan and afghanistan are multi ethnic states with no ethnicity in majority. Iran never had much to do with region AFAIK.

Anything east of Kandahar has basically been detached from the Iranian plateau cultural sphere for a while now. Same with Balochistan, especially the eastern parts by Sindh.
