Honestly I’d kind of assumed it’s arid just because of where it’s located, but y’know, I’m not an official of a country at war with them. In no way did I realise it extended far enough north to be partly outside the arid band north of the equator.
80% of Iran is arid or semi-arid in the koppen system, but because of their latitude and mountain ranges they do have a pretty unique weather system consisting of hot arid deserts sitting right next to cold arid deserts. Near the coastlines though it becomes humid subtropical. Iran has a very neat climate I’ve always liked researching
