That's not what happened. We have Iron Age samples from HajjiFiruz, Teppe Hasanlu, and Dinkha Tepe BIA B, and modern-day Iranians cluster with them. For example, here:

Distance to: Iran_HajjiFiruz_IA
0.02794200 Iranian_Lor_Bakhtiari
0.02811984 Iranian_Lor_Khorramabad
0.02959107 Iranian_Persian_Fars
0.02987181 Iranian_Zoroastrian
0.03061441 Iranian_Mazandarani

Pic-related also shares other Iron Age samples' distances.

Also, Assyrians are not Arabs/Bedouins, and Assyrians did influence Persian culture considerably. For example, the Farahavar is literally ripped from Assyrian Ashur. Also, you can distinguish an Assyrian from an Iranian. They do share a lot of ancestral components though. Granted, Assyrians do not cluster with Bedouins either.

Is it true that the Arabs genocided Persians BEFORE Islam took root? How was Islam actually established in Iran?
