Khurasan

Khurasan is a historical region located in northeastern Iran, encompassing parts of modern-day Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Afghanistan. Historically, it was a significant cultural and political center, especially during the Islamic Golden Age, known for its contributions to science, art, and architecture. Today, the term is often used in geopolitical contexts to refer to groups or movements that originate from or operate within this area. While its borders have shifted over centuries, Khurasan remains an important historical and cultural reference point in Central Asia.
