Yes, it has the ch (tch) and p and g that Arabic don't have, but it has no emphatic sounds. Sad and tha are pronounced as /s/, and dha and the emphatic d and z are all just pronounced /z/. The ta marbuta is just pronounced as /t/.
I have a hard enough time with the trilled r, having to learn how to distinguish the sounds of those letters would be a nightmare.
Amusing thing in this Persian-English/English-Persian dictionary I bought: The author gives a pronunciation guide for Iranians who want to know how to pronounce Southern English, namely the r dropping in the coastal dialects.

Was that supposed to be kitab? You wrote n, not i, for the second consonant. *NM*

"I" doesn't look like that in a medial position, Larry.

As a side note, I'm greatly amused with myself for typing "typewriter" in late 2011.

Yeah, you're not supposed to type the i, hence that hamza that you get.
