it's like saying japanese and chinese, they may look similar but language is completely different even though they share a similar alphabet. Religiously Iran is predominantly Shiite muslims whereas the rest of the arab world is mostly Suuni muslims, and they have been 'enemies' since the days of Iman Sharif. Iran also had a large Jewish contingency whereas most arab countries do not. Iran's history also typically begins around 500BC whereas arab history begins roughly around 300AD.
