Very interesting, I did not know Iranians' such claim of Arthur's origins.
Yes I have heard and mentioned the Sarmatian theory but the claim is interesting.
I have always thought the legend of Arthur has many older Celtic ties to it although the name itself belongs to a later era.
Anyway it's always good and amazing for a myth to be claimed by different cultures. Like Troy as I mentioned before.
If I had a say in the issue I would give permission anybody to claim the legends for themselves. Some legends does belong to anybody who believes in what they stand for.
There is a theory that Artorius was the Dux Bellorum of Brittania, and he was trained by Ambrosius Aurerlianus the last roman commander in england, and he led the romano-british armies against the saxons, who knows? mabye he had sister named morgana and mabye there was a druid named myrddin, or mabye not, there's so much myth and legend surrounding those times that we may never know what really happened.
