That's not how the theologians would word it No religion arises in a vacuum. They develop from ideas around them. Yes, there CERTAINLY are bits of Zoroastrianism included in Judaism, in the same way that Christianity borrowed from Judaism, and Islam borrowed heavily from both.
But Judaisms chief source of ideas were the existing Pagan religions of the Babylonians, Egyptians etc.
All religions draw on older traditions, and religions growing up in similar regions, as did the Zoroastrian and Abrahamic faiths, will reflect those similarities. The Roman religion drew on other peoples, most notably the Greeks, even the Aztecs incorporated Gods from the civilizations they conquered into their own pantheon. At the height of their Empire the Chinese had literally thousands of Gods, so it's not like anything strange, new, or different happened with the ones you mentioned.
It is a shame that Zoroastrianism has been lost to time. It was the largest world religion from 400 BCE to 200 CE. It was the first organized monotheistic religion, albeit a dualistic monotheism like Christianity. It spawned monotheistic thought throughout the world. Concepts of Heaven and Hell come from Zoroastrianism. Belief in Archangels are a direct influence from Zoroastrianism.
For understanding in the origins of monotheistic thought, I would also suggest reading up on the Amenism (Atenism) of Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV). You will find direct parallels between "The Hymn to the Aten" and Psalms 104 in the Bible. It will also give you understanding to why we say "Amen" at the end of our prayers.
Kinda difficult for Judaism to have developed from Zoroastianism when Judaism is older... On top of that, Judaism is monotheistic and Zoroastianism dualistic. Yep- the dualistic nature of Zoroastianism is seen in the concept of God vs the devil in Christianity and Islam- but that is completely missing from Judaism!
Christian have you ever heard of Zoroastrianism? Do you think Judaism/Christianity/Is
