    It could be argued that it does have a so called OWD streak but none of your examples apply:

    It is true that they aren't Arabs.

    Arab referred to Iranians as fair skinned (obviously it's in comparison to themselves at the time. Iranians are lighter than real Arabs in skin tone.)

    It is true that Islam was a foreign religion that was imposed on them. I assume but I don't know (I'm not going to inform myself by reading what someone wrote on reddit and then post it here; that would be pathetic), that there was a gradual conversion as happened elsewhere because people hate paying taxes but either way Islam was a religious and political authority over people's lives that was foreign.

    Your nation,history,people are incredible.
    Iran does indeed have a beautiful history and civilisation, and is far more of a genuine nation than phoney post-colonial entities like Iraq and Syria.

    Genetically they are not Iranic but Assyrian like. In fact they are genetically the same as Iraqi Jews. The Kurdish Jews it’s the same, and some of them now identify as “Assyrian” Jews. Georgian, Bukharan, and Mountain Jews all seem to be related to each other but are very distinct from the gentile population they live amongst. Mountain Jews even speak Tati, a lot of the Jews in Circassia are mountain Jews. They probably originated in Iraq before migrating eastward and northwards, this what the genetic story seems to tell.
