Geography of Iran
Geographically, Iran is located in Southwest Asia and borders the Caspian Sea, Persian Gulf, and Gulf of Oman. Also, by land Pakistan and Afghanistan in the east; Iraq and Turkey in the West; Azerbaijan and Armenia, and Turkmenistan in the north. Its mountains have helped to shape both the political and the economic history of the country for several centuries. The mountains enclose several broad basins, on which major agricultural and urban settlements are located. Until the middle of the 20th century, when major highways and railroads were constructed through the mountains to connect the population centers, these basins tended to be relatively isolated from one another.
