What is the difference between Persians and Arabs?

Persians and Arabs do look exactly the same. They are both descendants of Semites from the Mesopotamian plains. Persian civilization preceded Arab civilization, and many aspects of Arab culture were directly transferred from Persian culture. The Persians believe in "Zoroastrianism", which is Zhang Wuji's "Mingjiao". Arabs believe in "Islam". ?

Persians are now Iranians and Iraqis. One was sanctioned by the Americans and became poor. One was beaten to pieces by the Americans, and he was also poor. The Arabs are now the Saudis and the Emirates. Because they have oil, they are held in the palm of the hands of the Americans and they are extremely rich.

Persians are the main ethnic group in Iran in West Asia, also known as Pars. The population is 20.41 million (1985), accounting for approximately 53% of the country's total population. Mainly live in the central and eastern provinces of Iran. There are more than 600,000 people scattered in Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries.

Branches and closely related ethnic groups

Persians are distributed in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries. Like the Persians (Western Persians) in Iran, the Tajiks (Eastern Persians) in Central Asia are descendants of multiple Iranian ethnic groups. Their ancestors include Persians and other invaders from Iran. Due to the mutual influence of blood in history, the Tajiks and Farsiwan have close relations with the Persians in the Khorasan region.

Other smaller related ethnic groups include the Qizilbash of Afghanistan and Pakistan, who are related by blood to the Farsiwan and Azerbaijanis. In the Caucasus, the Tats are concentrated in Azerbaijan, Armenia, and the Russian Republic of Dagestan. Their ancestors were merchants who settled in these places during the Sasanian Dynasty.

The Parsis in Western India who believe in Zoroastrianism live in Gujarat, Mumbai and southern Pakistan. Most of them are descendants of Persian Zoroastrian believers. The Iranis are another small ethnic group in western South Asia. They are the descendants of the Zoroastrians who immigrated from Persia in the later period.

In addition, the Hazara and Aymāq people in Afghanistan have Iranian Mongolian and Turkic ancestry.
