The Land That Makes Iran Almost Impossible to Invade

This video explores how Iran’s geography has shaped its history, defense, and strategic importance for over 2,500 years. From towering mountain ranges like the Zagros and Alborz, to vast deserts that drain supply lines, Iran sits on a natural plateau designed by geology to slow, expose, and exhaust invading forces. Throughout history, empires have struggled to move through this terrain—whether ancient armies marching through mountain passes or modern forces navigating narrow roads and harsh environments. The video also looks at how geography affects global trade today, especially at the Strait of Hormuz, where a major portion of the world’s oil supply moves through a narrow shipping corridor overlooked by Iran’s mountainous coastline. This is not a story about modern politics. It’s about how land, elevation, distance, and chokepoints shape what’s possible in war, trade, and power projection—no matter the era. If you’re interested in how geography has influenced major civilizations, conflicts, and turning points in history, you’ll probably enjoy this one.Why has reaching Iran always been so difficult for invading armies—across ancient times and into the modern era?
