With over 81 million inhabitants, Iran is the world's 18th-most-populous country. Comprising a land area of 1,648,195 km (636,372 sq mi), it is the second-largest country in the Middle East and the 17th-largest in the world. Iran is bordered to the northwest by Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan, to the north by the Caspian Sea, to the northeast by Turkmenistan, to the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan, to the south by the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, and to the west by Turkey and Iraq. The country's central location in Eurasia and Western Asia, and its proximity to the Strait of Hormuz, give it geostrategic importance.

One of the sights of Qazvin is the cantor church. It is one of the smallest Orthodox churches in Iran. The Cantor church was built by the Russians in Qazvin during World War II, but today it has no religious use and is preserved as a monument. There are two tombstones in the churchyard, one of which is the tomb of a Russian pilot killed in World War II and one of Russian engineering. The architecture of the building and its brick facade look different than other buildings in the city.
