Iran

Iran (Farsi: ایران; romanized: Irân), formerly known as Persia, is a country located in the Middle East as part of Asia. Iran's bordering countries include Azerbaijan, Armenia, the Caspian Sea and Turkmenistan to the north, Afghanistan to the east, Pakistan to the southeast, the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf to the south, Iraq to the west and Turkey to the northwest. 
It is the second-largest country in the Middle East, and it is currently governed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, an authoritarian theocratic Islamic republic. Iran numbers 89.7 million people as of a 2024 estimate, and has its capital in Tehran.
Iran is home to multiple Daevite ruins, as well as a departure point for SCP-7005. The Office for the Reclamation of Islamic Artifacts operates within the borders of Iran, serving as the Islamic Republic's normalcy agency to recover anomalous artifacts of Islamic origin or counter unnatural threats.
