You called your own death by posting this nature's paper which everyone on internet uses to prove that Indus valley comes from Iran_N. Your own posted paper is saying that Iranian Farmers migrated into South Asia and Created Indus valley. Your quick google search did not tell you that probably.
Lets analyse this paper.
Here are you words of your own posted paper.
The archaeological record indicates an eastward Neolithic expansion from the eastern regions of the Near East into Central and South Asia.
Near East is West Asia (Iranic plateau). Author is saying that Iran_N (Iranian Neolithic farmers) migrated into south Asia esp into the place which became Indus valley. Try to dispute it please.
Our analysis shows that both the Caucasus Hunter Gatherer Kotias and GD13a are plausible sources for the Eurasian Ancestry found in that part of Asia.
Iran_N = Caucus Hunter Gatherer CHG.
The Near East population (Iran_N) were most likely hunter-gatherers from the Caucasus (CHG)
CHG in you came from Iran_N who created Indus valley.
GD13 is a Iranian neolithic farmer sample found inside Iran.
(From same paper)
To answer this question, we sequenced the genome of an early Neolithic farmer from Ganj Dareh, GD13a, from the Central Zagros (Western Iran), dated to 10000-9700 cal BP
Figure 1: GD13a appears to be related to Caucasus Hunter Gatherers and to modern South Asian populations.
(A) PCA loaded on modern populations (represented by open symbols). Ancient individuals (solid symbols) are projected onto these axes. (B) Outgroup f3( X , GD13a; Dinka), where Caucasus Hunter Gatherers (Kotias and Satsurblia) share the most drift with GD13a. Ancient samples have filled circles whereas modern populations are represented by empty symbols. (C) ADMIXTURE using K = 17, where GD13a appears very similar to Caucasus Hunter Gatherers, and to a lesser extent to modern south Asian populations.
Even though part of the Western Eurasian component found in India can be linked to Bronze Age migrations
Western Eurasian Migration into India in the bronze age ... LOL
Even the Steppe Aryans who entered South Asia were Iranicised at BMAC in Tajik belt first. Steppe itself had massive Iran_N. Uptake. Technically speaking Iran_N created IVC, Elam, Steppe, Aryans and last but least the Iranian (post Indo european mixing) cline as well.
Farmers related to GD13a (Iran_N) contributed to the eastern diffusion of agriculture from the Near East that reached Turkmenistan32 by the 6th millennium BP, and continued further east to the Indus Valley
HAHAHA

Eurasian
genetic contributions in South Asia derive from Neolithic Iranians and early Bronze Age steppe populations.
36,
37
A previous ancient-DNA study has suggested that the
Iran_N and Steppe_EMBA groups are the best proxies for the ancient West Eurasian component in South Asians. The study also suggested that
most South Asians can be modeled as a mixture of these two groups but also have Onge- and Han-related ancestries,
37
In fact, we found that the model with
Iran_N, Steppe_EMBA, and Onge works equally well
for all modern and ancient South Asians.
The higher affinity and admixture of PNWI (Pakistan North West Indian) populations with Neolithic Iranians and Anatolians (
Figures S6C,
S7B, and
S8B and
Tables S9 and
S10), coupled with the substantial Middle Eastern component (dark blue,
Figure 1B) and the
significant influx of the Middle-East-related male lineage J2-M172 (Table S4) into the Indian sub-continent through the Northwest corridor,94 might agree with earlier archaeological work that took place at
Mehargarh and that suggested the plausible influence from the Zagros or Levant region on the first evident settled way of life in South Asia.
Among extant populations, both the
Kalash and Ror groups stand out because they have the highest proportions of the ANI component, which can be modeled a
s a mixture of Iranian Neolithic and either Early-Middle (in case of the Kalash) or Middle-Late (in case of the Ror) Bronze Age Steppe ancestries.

AND
off-course we do not cluster now because Iranic population now changed its DNA massively post Indo European migration into the Iranic plateau (Medes Azeri, Kurds, Persian, Parthians, Pashtun etc). We and Turkish cluster massively with each other for the very same reason. Turkish themselves are cultural Turkic but genetically Indo Europeans like Iranians with mild Turkic input (15 %). Pre IE migration, IVC, ELam inside Iran and to some extent Anatolia were genetically very similar but not anymore because of IE migration into Iranic plateau. The eastern and southern Iranic groups like Pashtuns and Baloch to this day carry the Iranian neolithic legacy in their blood. If it does not suit your agenda then its not my problem.
Look at the green component which is basically Iran_N.
