It's not their fault that Iran is in this shape, nor is it their fault that Iranians have essentially become Persian/Azeri speaking arabs, but the culture that most Iranians follow is bastardized Iranian culture at best. The likes of Nejad, Mohsenam, Mohsen etc... are arab to the core. Take away the language that Nejad speaks and he could be anybody off the streets of Lebanon or Iraq.
As for the question of what is Iranian culture, I don't think I'm qualified to answer that, but it's clear to all of us that Arab culture isn't Iranian culture, even if the majority of Iranian citizens follow arab culture.
You seem to have elected to yourself to live in that self-victimization along with many of your fellow Persian Iranians. Could you please explain to me why the vast majority of Muslims don’t consider being an observant practicing Muslim equal to being an Arab? I have seen as many different types of Muslims as you can imagine. From Senegal to China, non of them feel that being a religious Muslim is equal to being an Arab. They don’t see a problem of being a Nigerian Muslim while still considering themselves to be culturally Nigerian, or Uzbek Muslim and yet still culturally Uzbek.
On another note, what is your explanation of the very limited number of Zoroastrians in Iran compared to Syrian, Palestinian, and Egyptian Christians? Why didn’t Arabs wipe out Christianity completely from these countries despite having undoubtedly a stronger influence on them than why they had on Iran? Do you know that Egyptian Christians account for nearly %10 of the population (around 8 million people). Why there is just about 100,000 Zoroastrians in Iran (or even less)? Did Arabs make everybody convert and forgot Christians despite them being an staunch enemy of theirs throughout history? Do you also know that before creating Israel Christians represented %17 of the total Palestinian population?
Those Christians paid Jizyah like the early Zoroastrians and were given generally some sort of protection for their faith by the numerous Islamic governments. Assuming that they were forced to accept Islam one person after another, why didn’t they find out a way to keep their faith the same way Christian Egyptians and Palestinians did?
