I have never heard of an Iranian being called white. Everyone here calls them Persians.
In fact, they freak out if you call them something other than Persian.

Saw a Persian freak out one time when called an Arab.  Pretty damn sensitive about that shit.

'White' is a cultural term created by anglo-Americans to exclude ethnicities they didn't like.
Persian is also a cultural term.

But in terms of science, whites, iranians, and some middle easterners (especially Syrians) are all Caucasoid whether they like it or not.
They are distinct populations, but their genes overlap heavily.

A lot of Arabs are Caucasoid, but many have mixed with blacks. North Africans too are 15-20% blacks genes.
