I enjoyed The Iron Sheik's work, but I never could make sense of his foreign policy. How could Iran be "Number One, AND Russia be, "Number One," too?
You do as much coke as Sheikhy-baby and it would make sense to you too.

Not Iranian or Persian. He may have said "I'm Persian" or something just because he had a religious background or features that look like it but he was Indian.

Yes, Freddie Mercury was of Persian ancestry. Born Farrokh Bulsara in Zanzibar to Parsi parents (Bomi and Jer Bulsara) who originated from India, he belonged to the Zoroastrian faith, which traces its roots back to ancient Persia. He was proud of his heritage, famously referring to himself as a "Persian popinjay".

You can call yourself whatever you want to make you feel better but he was not Persian. He didn't like that he was Indian and thought Persian was cooler. Just because your religion traces back to Persia doesn't make you Persian. I'm Roman Catholic, do you think I can call myself Italian?

There’s a Really rich Persian here named Sardar Biglari. Dad was an officer in the Shah’s military, family fled here in ‘79. He owns the Cracker Barrell and Steak and Shake brands, and has an investment company called The Lion Fund.

Biglari doesn't own Cracker Barrell. He is a significant investor and tried to protect them from Madam Wokey's brand suicide plan last year
