This comic is not 100% accurate but it gives a decent basic explanation of the events surrounding the WSH conquering Europe and their later attempt at conquering Asia. However it's important to understand why the Europeans got completely oiled and owned while the Zagrosian descended people successfully kept their domain intact. It wasn't just due to Europeans being genetically inferior on an individual level

Around 3300-3000 BC, hundreds of years before the steppe invasion, the Europeans were already declining in population and dominance. This coincides with the time the WHG were having a resurgence, with an uptick in the presence of I haplogroups. The EEF were fractured and infighting, and this is mainly because the soil was being depleted of nutrients and crop failures kept happening, the advent of Crop Rotation was not invented yet, that is an agricultural practice which prevents the depletion of the soil. This, combined with the fact that the climate was becoming colder and drier, meant that for many EEF, their agricultural lifestyles were becoming unsustainable and they had to fight one another for whatever arable land was left. Not only this, but evidence shows that early strains of bubonic plague were spreading around and affecting EEF city states before and during the Steppe invasion.
Beyond this, steppe people were pastoralists who were taller, stronger, more healthy and more immune than the grain-eating malnourished EEF.

As a result, a group as small as 10,000 steppe men mounted on chariots with superior weapons conquered the entirety of Europe and raped the EEF paternal lineage into total extinction, leaving behind half steppe half EEF (with a bit extra WHG) mutt rapebabies known as modern white people. That is the European ethnogenesis. This process took around 500 years. For instance, 400 years in, for steppe people entered Britain and killed off the stonehenge builders' men and raped the women.

Later on, in the middle of the Bronze age, a branch of steppe people we know as Sintashta, who to themselves were known as Aryans, decided to expand into Asia and head southward. They encountered the BMAC, also called the Oxus civilization, a highly advanced and population-dense Bronze age civilization. They were Zagrosian-descended sedentary people who practiced agriculture, like the EEF, but also had domestic raised farm animals which provided dairy and meat, meaning their nutrition and build was overall much better than the EEF.

The Oxus civilization occupied parts of what's now known as Turkmenistan, a much smaller area than the entirety of Europe, but their society and technology was much more advanced, with a far higher population density and much more robust and healthy build than the EEF. Because they domesticated animals and had better nutrition, they also had good immunity against diseases, especially of zoonotic type, and as a matter of fact, the Steppe people actually faced much more disease when entering the Oxus civilization. This over time caused massive numbers of Steppe invaders to settle and integrate into Oxus communities, which led to mixing and the dilution of the Steppe people. As a matter of fact, by the time they reached India, these Indo-Iranian Aryans did not even have 60% Sintashta DNA, and by the time they touched the Iranian Plateau, they were not even 40%. During their time interacting with the Oxus, their language absorbed many words and linguistic features from the Oxus substrate.
