Praxus , not to be a smart ass and disagree with you but the desert area is on the west iraqui border, the iranian -iraqui border is mainly mountainous on the north-central sector and on the southern sector they have some high lands and plains , even the gulf coast is rocky,also acording to the map you posted.
I agree they would have a hard time creeping on us but that's not because of the landscape.
That's why we use Saudi Arabia to go in , that's the flat deserted side.
(the mapping color coding usually intensifies with altitude:yellow for sea level, deserted areas, ligt brown for deserted higher regions, green for plains,hills and forested areas, dark brown high altitude areas , mountains)
