It has also been recorded that a large contingent of Nubian soldiers were present in the ancient persian army. And yes Africans have lived in the Assyrian empire, they had various professions and played different roles throughout different levels of society. Btw, several documents mention Kushite horse-experts living in Assyria.
Now what this Iranian racist caucasian history is doing, is that they have fully reduced the shining history of Blacks in Persia to a history of Black slaves brought to Iran via the Indian ocean slave trade, and that the enslaved Black ppl were captured by Arab slave traders who sold them to White Iranians to meet the demand for menial labor. THAT'S IT.!! This is exactly the only image Iran(or White Iran) has been supporting and promoting about the Afro-Iranians today. Bastards!! Yes, some of that could be true but however they deliberately kept only the negative part of their Black history. "Slavery". Well, its not just Iran(Persians), its also the whole Arab and Muslim world. When it comes to their Black ppl its always "slavery" that comes out, nothing else. And that unfortunately includes Egypt too. Some Egyptians toodaay, would tell you that Nubians were just slaves in ancient Egypt. LOL!!
