Interesting...

What I found interesting was the fact that Iran has a wide range of climates in a country the size of the UK.  You can go to the dry, sandy desert in the morning and be skiing by afternoon in the mountains of this middle eastern country.

I also thought it was interesting that Iran has an estimated 10% of the worlds oil but exports 1/2 of what it uses from outside sources.  The reason they have to do this is because the country lacks enough of the equiptment to extract the oil they have.  With the demand for oil the way it is today, Iran could hold a lot of world power in the near future...
