Iranians are proudly not Arabs.

  “Arab / Muslim states” is a clear attempt to craft a concise label that includes the states that are both Arab & Islamic, Lebanon which is Arab and explicitly multiconfessional, and Iran which explictly Islamic and very much not Arab, and also very clearly crafted by someone unfamiliar with the proper usage of Muslim (noun for a person who is a follower of Islam) and Islamic (adjective modifying a noun to indicated that it is associated in some way with Islam.)

    The original comment before edit was simply “Arab” sans slash.

    The label is entirely separate from my point and apologies for the generalization. Middle eastern counties would have avoided all this and stuck to my original point. Neighboring enemies of Israel is probably the most correct description in that regard.
