Are parsis desendents of aryans

Parsis are descendants of Zoroastrians who fled Persia (modern-day Iran) to escape religious persecution following the Islamic conquest in the 7th century. While the Aryans are an ancient group associated with the Indo-Iranian peoples, Parsis specifically trace their heritage to the Zoroastrian tradition rather than being directly categorized as Aryans. Their cultural and religious identity is primarily linked to Zoroastrianism rather than the broader Aryan lineage.
