Iranians aren't Arabs and don't speak Arabic

Yeah we know that but does the average American whose only use of the word Persian comes from rugs, coffee, and mahbe some sweets.

Excuse me I'll have you know I played Prince of Persia and its reboot.

Iranians have been fighting arabs since Elam and Sumaria were around.
