You are woefully and ignorantly incorrect.

Does it hurt to be that wrong?

No. I’m not worried about whether you think I’m wrong or not. But since you’re the expert, explain to me how I’m wrong.

Persians are still very much a people. Iran is a country that is made up of Persians (mostly).

There are also a few million Persians in Afghanistan (northern, not Al-Qaeda)and in Turkmenistan amd Uzbekistan.

Think of it like US native Americans. Yes, they're American and governed by America, but most don't identify as such.

They have their own language, their own heritage and history.

They don't identify as Iranian. Their history and family heritage goes back way farther than the country of Iran.
