It depends on the definitions of those two terms. In terms of appearance, Persians typically look like Southern Italians or Greeks in terms of coloration. The US Census classifies Persians as White, but individuals may use the terms differently than the US Census.
If you are using the term "Asian" to refer to any person from the continent of Asia, then YES, Persians are Asian. However, they have more Caucasian features than Indian or Chinese features, so if the general categories of "Desi", "East Asian", or "Southeast Asian" are intended by "Asian", then NO. If you are using "White" to refer to people of European ancestry, Persians are not Europeans, so NO, but if you are simply considering the color of a person's skin, then they would be "White", but closer to Olive.
The above picture gives a general idea of what Persians look like.
