It is most certainly not a commonly held belief. That professor must've missed about 30 years of advancements in genetic research.

Most of this kind of prof are liberal arts prof, or law.

Aren't these people predominantly pro-West liberal bootlickers?

If Tang dynasty survived for a few hundreds of years and An Lushan rebellion didn‘t happen, do you see Iranians being absorbed into Han Chinese identity?

No. Iran by An lushan rebellion just got conquered by the caliphate. Tang had almost no influence in Iran at any point. At most, Tang might be able to hold onto central Asia for a few hundred more years and completely Tangify central Asia.

There were Iranic groups in Central Asia not just in Iran proper. Like Sogdians for example.

Pamiris exist in China today but they are called tajiks for some reason.

The question was on Iranians, so I assumed in the modern sense. Not iranic, which are most populations in central Asia. Sogdians were not heavily assimilated at the time, they were able to keep their customs, language etc. there just weren't enough chinese there, since only soldiers and merchants, not too many settlers. Would take a few hundred years for the soldiers to become settlers by marrying local women.
