I know of and appreciate the difference between Iranian peoples and other middle easterners. I find it fascinating, their genetics, history, and culture (much of which is shared with Europeans; CHG in Steppe, Iran_N in southern Europeans, PIE enrichment, language and culture). I hope that perhaps if the region is stable enough, in the aftermath, I could visit it one day on vacation. Unfortunately, for the time being, I cannot even safely travel to Egypt. We were planning a trip to Egypt in 2027, but that's not happening now.
