Lester goes to Iran, Easton Hood


1- Lester is in Tehran, Iran. Tehran is the capital and the largest city.2- The main language in Iran is Farsi (Persian). Farsi is part of the Indo-European language tree. Large minority groups speak Azeri (a dialect of Turkish) and Kurdish. 3- The weather in Tehran is cold in Winter and hot in Summer. The air is always dry, but there is snow in the Winter, and maximum rainfall is in the Winter. Tehran is bordered to the north by the large Alborz mountain range, blocking out moisture from the Caspian Sea to its north. To the south is the Iranian Plateau, a dry desert. 4- The main religion in Iran is Shi'a Islam. Other religions include Christianity, Zoroastrianism (the ancient religion of Iran), and Judaism.5- The country I am in is Iran. Iran is the 18th largest country in the world, the size of United Kingdom, France, Spain and Germany, a bit smaller than the area of the state of Alaska as well as Mexico. Located in the Middle East, Iran borders Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, the Caspian Sea, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Persian Gulf, and Iraq. It has a population of about 70.5 million.
