Of course we look different from many Iranians, therefore Iran is not among one of those countries where we pass well even though many people will still pass us in Iran due to them being ignorant. In my own experience, looking at the pictures and seeing Persians irl in Georgia they have a different look to them and many Persians I have seen irl look South Asian influenced whereas we have no south asian influence in our phenotypes. Even as a child I could easily tell apart Iranians from the rest of the people when i saw them outside and I was fascinated by how different they looked because of them being swarthy
I am not saying this to offend Persians btw. Just to get it out of the way. I am just saying what I have observed since years
