The Iranian plateau [1] or Persian plateau [2] [3] is a geological feature spanning parts of the Caucasus, Central Asia, South Asia, and West Asia. It makes up part of the Eurasian plate , and is wedged between the Arabian plate and the Indian plate .
The Eurasian plate is a tectonic plate that includes most of Eurasia (a landmass consisting of the traditional continents of Asia and Europe), with the notable exceptions of the Arabian Peninsula, the Indian subcontinent, and the area east of the Chersky Range in eastern Siberia.

[121] A number of Iranian peoples were also intermixed with the Slavs, [9] and many were subjected to Slavicisation. [10] [11]
