Countries that border Iran
7 land neighbours: Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey and Turkmenistan. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
7 neighbours to keep in the right order.
3 countries in Asia have more than its 7 land borders; it is the same as Saudi Arabia. Of the 21 possible pairings among them, 6 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Turkey is the most connected of them, with 8 land borders of its own. All of them are on the Asia map with Iran, and on the world map with everyone else.
