Counties of Iran

The provinces of Iran are divided more into counties called shahrestan (Persian: شهرستان shahrestān).  This is an area inside an ostan.  They usually contain a city center, a few bakhsh (Persian: بخش bakhsh), and a bunch of villages around them.  They are also usually some cities in each county.  As of the year 2005, Iran had 324 counties.
