It is considered Aryan in that many scholars believe Aryans to have orignally been the “Persians” and since Urdu uses a lot of Persian influences it becomes part of the “Aryan” languages at least in linguistic terms.

Yes, but this does not change the origins of Urdu. And the origin of Urdu is neither Persian nor Sanskrit. Instead it is Indus Valley.
