Persians, Kurds, Azeris, Lurs, and Mazandranis cluster with each other on PCA plots (check orange on graph). They have like ~90% genetic continuity to the Iron Age as two Iron Age samples show:


1. Hajji_Firuz_IA: This sample pretty much clusters with Iranians. It is most likely an Achaemenid.
2. Teppe_Hasanlu_IA: This one is more to the edge but still close. Some people claim it's a Hurrian.

Here the G25 coordinates for both samples:
