Sonali, pre-emptive strike: Iranians are not Turko mongol, and neither are iraqis. Iraqis are of arab-iranian stock. Iranians themselves are of Indo-Iranian (or Aryan/ Indo-European) stock. Not related to Arabs or Mongols. Same applies to Indians, Pakistanis, Afghans... Uzbeks, Tajiks, Turkmen etc are Turko-mongol.
