It was an interesting read, and there is probably some truth to much of it, but mixed in were several glaring factual inaccuracies, as well as preconsived ideas and bad logic. The fact that a city sounds like the name of an historic figure is hardly proof that there is any connetion.
It is interesting to note that the word ‘Aryan’, which so fascinated Adolf Hitler, is a form of the word ‘Iran’. Hitler wanted to produce a pure Aryan ‘race’ of supermen. But the very term ‘Aryan’ signifies a mixed line of Semites and Japhethites!
Actually it's the other way around, Iran is just a form of the word Aryan. One of the Shah's traditional titals was "Light of the Aryans". As to them being of mixed background, there is no evidence that the Medes and Persians mixed, but there is more than a little evidence that the Medes are the modern day Kurds.
