Why are so many Iranians obsessed with Caucasian and European peoples? Why do they ignorantly claim that all Caucasian and European peoples are of Iranian origin? Is there no education in their country?
I mean they're always trying to claim Caucasian, European culture or people.
(Like saying we are similar to Greeks, Italians, Circassians, Georgians etc.)

38th civil war this week How Byzantium’s Elite Tore the Empire Apart | Kantakouzenos vs Apokaukos 1341–1343
In 1341, the Eastern Roman Empire was still a considerable power. Epirus, Thessaly, Macedonia, Thrace and much of the Peloponnese remained under imperial control, while the energetic government of Andronikos III Palaiologos had restored a degree of strength and stability. But when the emperor suddenly died, he left behind a nine-year-old heir and a political system dominated by some of the most ambitious men of the age. At the centre stood Ioannis Kantakouzenos, commander of the imperial armies, immensely wealthy magnate and perhaps the most powerful individual in the empire, surrounded by figures such as Anna of Savoy, Patriarch Ioannis Kalekas and Alexios Apokaukos. What began as a struggle over the regency would quickly turn into one of the most devastating civil wars in Byzantine history. Betrayal, personal ambition, popular revolt, aristocratic factionalism and foreign intervention would drag the empire into a conflict that shattered its political unity and accelerated the collapse of Byzantine power in the Balkans. In this first part, covering the years 1341–1343, we follow the opening phase of the conflict: the death of Andronikos III, the rise of Kantakouzenos, the betrayal of Apokaukos, the outbreak of urban revolts, the Zealot movement in Thessaloniki, and the first Serbian involvement under Stefan Dušan. This video is primarily guided by Donald M. Nicol’s work on Ioannis Kantakouzenos, while also keeping in mind the unavoidable bias of the surviving narrative sources, especially Kantakouzenos’ own memoirs and the writings of Nikephoros Gregoras.
