Keep in mind, a lot of Americans are so ignorant, they think that Iran is Arab. Of course, the number one reason that a state is Arab: They speak Arabic.
Iran doesn't, they speak Farsi (spelling?).
I don't think ANY American would associate those fictionalized Persians with present-day Iran. If they did, they're probably really stretching, and already have issues with other Races (Neo Nazis, KKK, you know, those whackos).
It's another case of fiction being taken as fact. Like how all the Evangelicals felt about Davinci Code *facepalms*
