After breaching IAEA rules over nuclear enrichment and hiding the development of nuclear weapons, Ardistan has increased tensions in the region by recently testing medium range missiles. The US and British have reacted angrily in this blatant disregard for international law. UN Security Council has passed resolution 1973 giving Coalition forces the moral and legal authority to use force to stop Ardistan's nuclear weapons programme...

Ardistan (also known in the West as Eraan) is a fictional country in the "Armaversum" of ARMA 2. Qom Province is one of the 30 provinces of Ardistan. It is in the north of the country, and its provincial capital is the city of Qom. It was formed from part of the Tohrin Province in 1995. In 2005, this province had a population of approximately 2,000,000 out of which 90% resided in urban areas and 10% in rural vicinities. The province contains one city, four counties, nine rural districts, and 256 villages. The climate of Qom province varies between a desert and semi-desert climate, and comprises mountainous areas, foothills and plains. Due to being located near an arid region and far inland, it experiences a dry climate, with low humidity and scanty rainfall. Thus, agriculture is not possible in most of its areas, especially near the salt lake regions. Qom province has two large salt lakes, namely: Howz e Soltan Lake, which lies 36 km due north of Qom, and Namak Lake, which lies 80 km due east of Qom.

North West Qom Province is a rural district that covers approximately 100sqkm of Qom Province and is the home of no less than 2 secret nuclear weapons facilities in Ardistan. It is the home of a special weapons testing site (where recent missile tests took place) as well as several military installations and the world famous Hoz-e-Soltan salt lake. The terrain features farm land and industrial areas in the south, mountains and desert as you move further north and a salt lake in the north east. Small villages and towns are dotted throughout the region. 2 main highways run through the middle of the map connecting Qom City in the South to Tohrin in the North. A military airfield in the north west provides access to key installations, while an older airstrip in the east is used by the Ardistan military and government.
