Physical Map of Iran.
Iran is a predominantly mountainous country, defined by two major mountain ranges, the Zagros Mountains and the Alborz Mountains, which surround a dry central plateau. The Zagros range stretches from northwest to southeast, while the Alborz range borders the Caspian Sea, with Mount Damavand (18,406 feet) as its highest peak.
These mountains shape the country’s climate, nomadic culture, and defensive strategy.
