Iranians are not Arabs buddy.
“Euros and Nordics”…oh dear
Iran is a country to begjn with, made by Persians, Azeris and Kurds, and other little ethnic groups as the Arabs in the South. “Iranian” is a nationality. Ciao.
Nadia doesn’t look British, but she could pass as very atypical. Plus, she looks exactly what she is half Iranian/half Swedish.
