From using Vahaduo population averages, it is clear that Italians are more related to their European brethren than they are to Iranians, whom are not European/White. Below are a few examples of indigenous European ethnic groups and their genetic compositional proximity to various Italian regions compared to Iranians. We can see that generally, Germans are much closer in terms of genetic compositional proximity to Italians than are Iranians. Even Swedes, all the way up north in Europe, are somewhat closer to Italians than are Iranians.
Europeans are related to one-another in that they are primarily made of the same unique principal genetic ancestries (European-related hunter gatherers, European/Anatolian-related farmers and Indo-Europeans). These ancestries might exist in Iran, and other regions proximal to Europe to some extent, but Iranians have significantly different principal genetic ancestries that are generally absent among Europeans.
There are some instances in which hunter gatherers and farmer populations CHG/Iran/Levantine farmers that are generally not found amongst the average European are seen in small amount amongst Europeans like Greeks/Southern Italians. That has more to do with Minoans (who had minor CHG) and a mass migration of middle-easterners into Italy/Balkans during the Imperial Roman era/alongside other instances of incursions into Europe by outsiders from the middle east.
It is unrelated to Indo-Europeans.
I used the Iranian_Cosmopolitan_Tehran because that was the most
generous data point that could be used (when using other Iranian data points, they were even further from Italians than the cosmopolitan data point).

We can see that, generally, Italians are more close to other Europeans than to Iranians. There may be some regions of Italy, more so to the south, that plot close to cosmopolitan Iranians due to historical reasons mentioned above (ex: Greek colonization of Mediterranean and carrying with them CHG/Iran_Neolithic ancestry).
The oldest known Indo-European culture was the Yamnaya. We can see that Northern Europeans are more related to them than Iranians. Greeks and Romans are unrelated to Iranians. The only relation that can be drawn is some religious/cultural practices that were brought into Iran by way of Europe by Indo-Europeans, not vice-versa.

I take back what I had said previously regarding these types of people suffering from an inferiority complex and self-hatred. I think they just have a general animosity towards Europeans/White people that stem from rejection/jealousy/envy.
