The points I said in my posts are the significant points that I see are different than in other regions. And I based this on a documentary I saw in my cultural anthropology class. It showed some parts of Iran with interesting cultural practice.

This is most interesting cities than others in Iran .
Physiographically, Iran lies within the Alpine-Himalayan mountain system and is composed of a vast central plateau rimmed by mountain ranges and limited lowland regions. Iran is subject to numerous and often severe earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The Iranian Plateau (alt. c.4,000 ft/1,200 m), which extends beyond the low ranges of E Iran into Afghanistan, is a region of interior drainage. It consists of a number of arid basins of salt and sand, such as those of Dasht-e Kavir and Dasht-e Lut, and some marshlands, such as the area around Hamun-i-Helmand along the Afghanistan border. The plateau is surrounded by high folded and volcanic mountain chains including the Kopet Mts. in the northwest, the Elburz Mts. (rising to 18,934 ft/5,771 m at Mt. Damavand, Iran's highest point) in the north, and the complex Zagros Mts. in the west. Lake Urmia, the country's largest inland body of water, is in the Zagros of NW Iran. Narrow coastal plains are found along the shores of the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, and the Caspian Sea; at the head of the Persian Gulf is the Iranian section of the Mesopotamian lowlands. Of the few perennial rivers in Iran, only the Karun in the west is navigable for large craft; other major rivers are the Karkheh and the Sefid Rud.
The climate of Iran is continental, with hot summers and cold, rainy winters; the mountain regions of the north and west have a subtropical climate. Temperature and precipitation vary with elevation, as winds bring heavy moisture from the Persian Gulf. The Caspian region receives over 40 in. (102 cm) of rain annually. Precipitation occurs mainly in the winter and decreases from northwest to southeast; much of the precipitation in the mountains is in the form of snow. Meltwater is vital for Iran's water supply. The central portion of the plateau and the southern coastal plain (Makran) receive less than 5 in. (12.7 cm) of rain annually.
The country is divided into 30 provinces. In addition to Tehran, important cities include Esfahan , Mashhad , Tabriz , Rasht , Hamadan , Abadan , Shiraz , and Ahvaz .
Iran's central position has made it a crossroads of migration; the population is not homogeneous, although it has a Persian core that includes over half of the people. Azerbaijanis constitute almost a quarter of the population. The migrant ethnic groups of the mountains and highlands, including the Kurds , Lurs, Qashqai, and Bakhtiari, are of the least mixed descent of the original Iranians. In the northern provinces, Turkic and Tatar influences are evident; Arab strains predominate in the southeast. Iran has a large rural population, found mainly in agrarian villages, although there are nomadic and seminomadic pastoralists throughout the country.
officially Islamic Republic of Iran, republic (1995 est. pop. 64,625,000), 636,290 sq mi (1,648,000 sq km), SW Asia. The country's name was changed from Persia to Iran in 1935. Iran is bordered on the north by Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and the Caspian Sea; on the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan; on the south by the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman; and on the west by Turkey and Iraq. The Shatt al Arab forms part of the Iran-Iraq border. Tehran is the capital, largest city and the political, cultural, commercial, and industrial center of the nation.

I see ..*shook her head as sighed a little* Lenny , Cara , i guess the documentary that you are talking about probably has been made about some local tribes who are living in the eastern part side of IRAN in the heart of the nature , these people have lived like this for over thousands years, free and away from big cities , but they are only a very little part of our nation , our population is near 65 million ( i am not sure about the correct number tho but i believe it should be even more) and too many great cities , like Tehran , the capitol of IRAN , which is one of the biggest and most advanced cities in middle east ..
the way you were describing IRAN is look like i say USA is only the country of cowboys and cattlemen , people riding on horses and shooting each others by shotguns in streets and bars !!
( no offence , just trying to give a sample here )
anyway , i hope you like checking these links and see the secret beauty of a lovely country which have been hidden behind the veils of ignorance and negative propaganda .. Enjoy !
