The ancient peoples who founded the Persian empire were an Indo-Iranian race, who were in turn descendants of Proto-Indo-Europeans. This means that earliest Persians were essentially Caucasian.
The Arabs and Israelites who originally inhabited the region, whose common DNA haplogroups originated at the Southern tip of Saudi Arabia, were Semitic peoples. They're called so because they speak what are called Semitic languages--Hebrew, and the many variants of Arabic. The Persian (Farsi) language, which is spoken in Iran and in countries East of Iran (but not West, where Saudia Arabia and Israel are), is actually considered to be more closely related to Greek.
