Izeh has temperate weather in spring and summer, although in winter it is usually the coldest city in the Khuzestan province. Izeh is populated by Bakhtiari people, a tribe living in the northern part of the Khuzestan area. It is an agricultural rather than an industrial city. The foremost product is rice (locally called Berenj) that mostly comes from Susan, Sheyvand, Meydavood and Chitanbe.

Izeh also has mines of rocks and minerals. It is famous for its dam and ancient monuments that are located in Kul-e Farah, Eshkaft-e Salman, Khongazhdar, Tagh e Tavileh, Shir-e Sangi (Stone Lion cemetery), Shahsavar relief, Khong e Kamalvand, Khong e Ajdar, Khong e Yaralivand, ghalesard village (Qalesard), and Sheyvand relief.

History

In the Elamite period it was known as Ayapir and sometimes Ayatem. Arabs called the town as Idhaj. The local dynasty of Lor Atabakan the Greats (Atabakan-e-Lor-e-Bozorg) renamed it in Malemir or Malmir ("king’s house" or "capital"). This name has been used until 1935 when with government's approval, it is changed again to Izeh.

Climate

Izeh has a semi-arid climate with hot sometimes very hot summers and cool winters.

gollark: Elliptic curve cool and good™ due to fewer footguns than RSA, smaller key sizes, etc.
gollark: Most modern things will use some sort of elliptic curve scheme to something something keys for symmetric encryption.
gollark: Are you DENYING the blog posts?
gollark: Also, some usecases just need symmetric crypto and using RSA would be stupid because different security model.
gollark: A blog post said so → it is true.
