Explore Live Cams in Iran

Iran (ایران) is a large country in western Asia, covering about 636,400 square miles (1,648,195 km²) between the Caspian Sea in the north and the Persian Gulf in the south. High mountain ranges ring a vast, dry central plateau of deserts and salt flats, and the live cams on this page follow news and events across the region.

Its most famous natural landmark is Mount Damavand, a snow-capped volcano rising about 18,406 feet (5,610 m) above Tehran, the highest peak in the Middle East. In the east, the Lut Desert, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is filled with giant wind-carved ridges, while along the Caspian coast the ancient Hyrcanian forests are also protected by UNESCO.

Iran is the last home of the critically endangered Asiatic cheetah, with only a few dozen left in the wild. Persian leopards, wild goats and brown bears live in the Zagros and Alborz mountains, and flamingos wade in salt lakes such as Lake Urmia when it holds water.

Did You Know? Satellites have recorded some of the hottest ground temperatures on Earth in the Lut Desert, with the sand reaching about 159°F (70.7°C).
