As i already mentioned. Persians have as much Arab genes as Southern kurds + additional (~3% ) South Asian and in South Iran like Fars even some percentages (1-2%) more Arab genes.
So the statement "Persians can also look like arabs" is out of sense. If there is any reason why some Arabs (Iraqi, Syrian or Lebanese) can look like Southern Kurds, its because Iraqi Arabs tend to look like Kurds because they are a mix of mostly native Mesopotamian-Iranic folks + additional Bedouin admixture. Syrians and Lebanese are even more extrem they are by huge majority Arabified natives (like Phoenicians, Mitannis/Hurrians etc.) with strong to medium Bedouin input.
There might be some Kurds in South who have mixed with Iraqi Arabs and also look like that but they are not 100% ethnic Kurds and should not be taken as representative. The same you would not call a Spaniard/German mixed person a real German.
Even on Kurdistanca they wrote an article about the Arab conquests and how a few city Kurds who are darkly complexed relate back to the Arab invaders, of course as you said its a minority, but if you are going to disregard them as ethnically Kurdish then that is your problem.
But relating to the "Arabs look like Kurds", well that really doesn't make sense. As the so called Kurds who look like Arabs are a minority, so by implying it is the other way around is ilogical. Anyways if you go to Baghdad you will see most are dark as Suadis, even darker.
