Discover Iran's Massive Geographical Footprint: A State-by-State Comparison
Explore the surprising scale of Iran's landmass, as it covers nearly one-sixth of the entire United States and is over 2.5 times the size of Texas.
When it comes to the sheer expanse of its geographical footprint, Iran is a giant on the global stage. In fact, the Middle Eastern nation is roughly the same size as the state of Alaska, which is the largest U.S. state in terms of total area. But Iran's dominance doesn't stop there - it's also a staggering 2.5 times the size of Texas, the second-largest state.
To put Iran's massive scale into perspective, the country covers an astonishing one-sixth of the entire land area of the United States. This means that if you were to take all 50 U.S. states and line them up side by side, Iran would still occupy a sizable portion of that colossal landmass.
