The assertion that Iranians are of a "noble Aryan" lineage, and therefore superior, is a problematic and outdated concept. Contemporary Western nations do not subscribe to such hierarchical classifications.

The author contends that the long-standing conflicts between Iran and many Western countries are rooted in geopolitical realities and ideological differences, rather than any inherent racial prejudice against Iranians.
The assertion that Iranian people are of a "noble Aryan" lineage is a problematic and outdated concept. The idea of racial hierarchies, based on the antiquated notion of "Aryan" superiority, has been thoroughly debunked by modern anthropology and genetics. Contemporary Western societies do not subscribe to such hierarchical classifications. The concept of a superior race is not only scientifically inaccurate but also deeply offensive to the diverse populations of these nations.
Furthermore, the author points out that the assertion of Iranian racial superiority is not a valid explanation for the complex and multifaceted relationship between Iran and the West. The historical and ongoing tensions between these nations are rooted in geopolitical factors, such as differing political ideologies, regional rivalries, and differing perspectives on international affairs. These issues are not about race, but rather about the complex interplay of national interests, historical grievances, and differing interpretations of global issues.
The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding the true nature of the Iran-West relationship. Focusing on cultural differences and shared humanity is crucial to understanding and resolving these conflicts. Instead of clinging to outdated and harmful notions of racial superiority, it is essential to engage in constructive dialogue, based on mutual respect and understanding.
