The Iranian plateau is a major geologic formation in the Middle East and the southern Eurasian Plate. It covers much of Iran (roughly 2/3 of the country from the Zagros Mountains eastwards), Afghanistan (mainly the southern and eastern portions of the country), western Pakistan (namely Balochistan and the North West Frontier Province), and the southern portion of Turkmenistan as well as a small part of southern Azerbaijan . It stretches south of the Alborz Mountains to the coast. Its western edge is marked by the Zagros Mountains and in the east it ends with the Hindu Kush range.
