No, the word has a reconstructed proto-Afro Asiatic root *ħar, Semitic languages as well as Egyptian and Omotic (an extremely divergent branch in East Africa) all have the derived word with the same meaning; given that Afro-Asiaitc is really old (older than PIE by six millennia) I see it very likely to be a borrowing from Afro Asiatic (AA) to IE, there is linguistic evidence that AA languages influenced Elamite and Dravidian (
here) both languages associated with Iran (a fact in the case of Elamite), we know from Lazaridis et al (
genetic structure of the world's first farmers) that Iran Chalcolithic can be modelled as a mixture of the previous Iran Neolithic, CHG, and
Levantine Neolithic, and we know that Steppe EBA can be modelled as EHG and
Iran Chalcolithic, Levantine Neolithic lineages spread in the same areas that AA speakers would dominate, and they all have significant amounts of this ancestry, there is linguistic evidence that AA languages spread to Africa with farming (
here).
I'll post them again:
