Iran isn't Arabic, it is Persian. They call themselves Aryans. As far back as Darius they were called Aryans. In fact, in Persian, 'Iran' means "Aryan". They don't like Arabs any more than we do. Which is -- Not at all.
Not being racialist. At all. But we should have been natural allies and Carter fucked that up.
