There is no difference. Iranians are aryans.

Wot? They don't seem to be fully Indo-European nor pure proto-Indo-Iranian

Who cares lmao.

Philologist J.P. Mallory argues that "As an ethnic designation, the word [Aryan] is most properly limited to the Indo-Iranians, and most justly to the latter where it still gives its name to the country Iran.[4]

Scholars point out that, even in ancient times, the idea of being an "Aryan" was religious, cultural and linguistic, not racial.[9][10][11]

82% of the population are the following:

J2, J1 (23.5%+12.5% = 36.0%)

G2, G1 (14.1% + 1.6% = 15.7%)

There is a strong West to East difference in Iran it seems. Stronger than I had previously believed at least.

Central Iran has a desert that divides the country (east and west ). Zagros mountains are the wall that separates Iran from the Arab world.

what is the ethnicity of this person? He or she seems to have some central Asian ancestry.

[Negah]

I'm not an expert, of what nature is this difference?

Geography, there are two deserts in the middle of the country. Iranians are mountain people. Low lands are mostly inhabitable. The only place that is low land and populated is Southern Khuzestan.

There is a strong West to East difference in Iran it seems. Stronger than I had previously believed at least.

East Iran is sparsely populated. The only area that is heavily populated is NE Iran ( Mashhad, Nishapour, etc), and this population connects Iran to Central Asia and Afghanistan. There are couple of secondary population centers in the east inhabited by Bloachis and Sitanis ( Zabolis)

[Negah]

Don't know to be honest. That's a question for the Iranian members here..
Persians are said to be derived from the Medes aswell. Probably Median + Elamite.
Also Azeris still have a lot of Iranic ancestry. And we still have other Northwestern Iranian groups like the Talysh,Tats or Gilakis.

Persians and Persian language are from SW Iran and it expanded north towards Ray ( Tehran and North East towards Mashhad and Nishapur and later on towards Herat, Balkh, Samarkand, Bukhara, etc through the process of elite dominance mainly. I suspect Medes and Azeri are probably closely linked but also Persians from Ray, Ecbatana ( ie Tehran and Hamadan ).

Hamadan of today is populated by Persians (75%) and Azeris (25%).

yep, that's what I was thinking
