I think you are missing out a good few hundred years. Caliphate were not Persians (Indo-European).
The tribes I was talking about were Parthians [1] and Sassanids [2]. These are long before Islam and Muslim invasion of Iran and they were once part of Achaemenid empire.
I don’t know what you exactly mean by power structure but the form of government (i.e. Central government and Satraps) were adopted by and outlived the Macedonians.
You can get more information here (or simply Wikipedia):
