The guy actually feels more Iranian than many Iranians in ISP, if you know what i mean 
. He was actually close to play for TM during Branko's time and missed a training camp due to injury...
Here is part of Reza's interview with him in 2008
IranSportsPress.com: You are half Iranian. But as you were born in Germany did you have much connection with the Iranian culture as a child?
Alexander Nouri: My dad is Iranian. He was born in Rasht, and was raised in Tehran. My mother is German. So I was lucky in a way that I grew up under the influence of two different cultures. I love Iran. I love my Iranian side and I see myself as much Iranian as I am German. Sadly, I don’t speak much Persian. My dad studied in another city when I was a child (Oldenburg), and he only visited us during the weekends. When he did come to visit us, he wanted us to speak and learn German, so that we don’t have any problems at school. He didn’t want us to be treated as foreigners. He himself had bad experiences at that time, and he obviously wanted us to avoid such problems. However, my goal is to learn to speak Persian to the best of my ability. I feel close to the Iranian culture and we have a lot of family from Iran who visit us, and I would like to be speaking in Persian with them. I like Iranian food, and I like Iranian music. I have a son, and I have named him “Arian”, which as you know is an Iranian name.
IranSportsPress.com: Did you ever think about playing for Iran national team? Or were you ever approached by Team Melli officials?
Alexander Nouri: I was in contact with the Iranian Football Federation in 2004/05 through Reza Fazeli. Sadly I was injured at the time and when I was invited to join the team during the training camp in England, I could not take up the invitation due to my injury. It would have been an honour for me to wear the Team Melli shirt.

Maybe Mirzaqasemi or baghali ghatogh since his dad is from Rasht ,but looking at his picture he has missed on the Rashti nose !
He looks more German than Rashti for sure but good to know he carries his Iranian genes and is proud of it .
Good luck to him.
Ps . mind you he looks a bit like Seyed Jalal ...
