Good one.

The caption on your picture is wrong and distorting. The anti-Islamic King of Persia Reza Shah Pahlavi in 1935 requested all foreign nations to call Persia "Iran". Iran is since millenia their self-description. They always called themselves "Irani". "Persia" was the West's name for Iran, although Persians are merely a part of Iranians. The motive for the name change in 1935 was to cast away the colonial and backward association of "Persia". Iran was undergoing a modernisation effort at that time.

And the Iranians ARE Aryan by origin.

When we are attacking the Iranian regime, we should target their real motivator for anti-semitism and fascism: ISLAM the arabic cult.

Iran during WW2 was never allied with Germany. They tried desperately to stay neutral and 1939-41 during the Hitler-Stalin pact, Reza Shah Iran's king tried to joing the Allies against Hitler/Stalin. When Hitler invaded Russia, out of necessity the Allies (now with Russia) needed Iran as a transit route. Therefore they invaded and deposed the neutral Shah of Iran. The propaganda by Communists and also the BBC that Reza Shah was a "Nazi friend" has no truth to it. Infact Reza Shah gave Iran's Jews civil rights and was wary of Nazi subversion just as much as any other foreign encroachment.
