    I think you confused Saudi Arabia, the desert country ruled by a king imposed on them by the British Empire to oversee the extraction of oil with Iran, the country that had that, until a local militant religious movement overthrew him.

    Hell half of Iran isn’t even desert, Tehran has the climate of Colorado.

        well it’s half mountainous half desert. Tehran’s north is on the mountainside and it gradually transitions to desert on the south side.
