The Fertile Crescent is more deserving of the latter title, and Pakhtunkhwa is more deserving of the former.
Your "pakhtunkhawa" is part of Iranic plateau. An average Afghan is just a basic eastern Iranic man altered by mild mixes from mongoloid (mostly female lines) and to some extent by Indid mixing (towards east). Afghanistan is an integral and always been part of Iranic empires until recent times. Challenge me and I will start pulling Autosomal DNA matches to prove that an Afghan, Tajik is just as Iranic as any Kurd, Persian etc is.

read by genetics, phenotypes, language ... which subgroups are part of Iranic nation. Modern day Iran is just one nation representing Iranic race. There are many others as well.

No, those migrations predate the existence of an Iranic people. They just happened to pass through Iran during their migrations out of the Fertile Crescent.
Iranic people are older than any other cline.
Iranic neolithic farmers (Iran_N) migrated to what is now pakistan and mixed with south Indian ASI (mostly females) to create IVC. Again challenge me and I will start posting Autosomal DNA of lots of you to prove that. CHG component in south asia was brought by none other than Iran_N. CHG in an average IVC man even today is as high as any Iran_N of that time. IVC was literally built by Iranian neolithic farmers.
It will take some time but read this paper

As a matter of fact Iranian and Anatolian Cline are even older than whole indian or european clines. Technically speaking Iranic plataeu (along with Anatolia if one wants to consider it a separate entity) gave birth to almost the whole world. You want to deny that ?
In these published images, try to find the IVC and your very own indian cline and then Iranian one.
You know the fun part. Modern day Iranians show extreme level genetic continity from iron age. Nothing has changed in Iran from that era. Deny that and I will prove it by Autosomal and haplogroup DNA.
Aryans probably came from the Caucasus.
Aryans were mixtures of Steppe EMBA and MLBA (Iranian neolithic Farmers input from Khvalynsk) and BMAC (Iranic Plataeu). Their modern day equivalent are none other than real descendants of BMAC i.e Tajiks (Persian speaking Iranian). The Aryan haplogroup R1a z93 is very high among Caucasian Tajiks today. They entered south asia from modern day Tajikistan and Afghanistan both of which are Integral parts of Iranic Plateau. Challenge me and more shall come.
This mentality here is exactly why Iran is and will remain a pariah in the region. You followers of the Ayatollahs are arrogant, self obsessed and insular.
We are strongly allied with 5 nations in ME. Partially allied with 3 others. I do not see the word Pariah fitting on us.
I follow nothing but Iranian identity. You hate Iranian nation then its your problem not mine. You are not the first one and wont be the last. We are still standing.
You're so wrapped up in your inner narrative that you assumed the term Gulf Arab refers to the body of water known as the Persian Gulf, rather than the Arab nations dotted around the Gulf. You're incapable and unwilling to listen to any arguements that don't self validate your narrow view of the world.
Its Persian Gulf. Rest is trash talk that I do not take part in.
Just because other people also do wrong things does not mean I will support and validate Iran using terrorism and proxies as a tool of foreign policy. The Shia cresent policy being followed by the Ayatollah has backfired already in Iraq and eventually will do in Lebanon and Syria too. Meanwhile Iran is isolating itself from all it's othjer neighbours.
terrorism ? what are you talking about ? your own talibans and Turkish FSA, Saudi Al nusra cut heads than its fun and strategy but if our Hezb or Houthis defend themselves then its terrorism ? are you really that stupid ?
And what has backfired in Iraq please explain ?
