No. Afghanistan was one of many regions that came under the historic control of Persia on different occasions. However, these regions were never called "Persia". Afghanistan had several names, such as North Khorasan, Parthia, Bukhara, etc.
The historic country of Persia is properly identified with the modern Islamic Republic of Iran, which is its successor-state (post-revolution).
