Theres tons of Arabs in that country. Its not a far-out idea that he could be mixed. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about if you don't believe Iran has semitic mixture. The Islamic revolution brought more arabs into that place. And since when do Turkic people look like Arabs?
And what language he speaks means nothing racially. Its like a South American amerindian speaks Spanish and calls himself "Spanish" (as some do). Its not accurate. And saying "he lives in Iran" means nothing. A chinaman that lives in Tibet isn't tibetian racially.
Will go point-by-point quickly, 3% of the population in Iran is Arab. It is possible his family background has mixed ethnicity, but it doesn't change the fact that he's not an Arab. Next point is based on assumption and a personal slate, which invalidates your post, but what the hey I'm bored, of course Iran has a semitic nature, it would be hard not to have being so close to the semitic countries. And since when did Turks not look like Arabs?

South America isn't a valid example. A better example would be: a Korean whose family has some Chinese or possibly Japanese mixture, but this Korean was born and raised in Korea and speaks the language, so is a Korean. A lot of people may not be able to tell the difference between Korean and Chinese or Japanese language or people, similar situation to Persian and Arab, but assuredly they are ethnically different.
My point about him living in Iran, or more specifically being born and raised in Iran, is part of the multiple minor details I mentioned to validate his ethnicity. Your next point is more about immigration than ethnicity, irrelevant.
This thread is now almost completely lacking substance, but I believe the Carter meetings issue is pretty much over for now anyway.
