This article offers a chronology of climate events in Iran over the last millennium to challenge traditional chronologies of the Iranian past based on politics, war, and economics. Using insights gleaned from the historiography of climate in Iran, and from neighboring regions, especially the Ottoman Empire, four episodes of climate cooling show how climate-induced environmental processes affected more people for longer in Iran than did the policies of the empires ostensibly ruling over them. Thus, the article aims to put climate more squarely on the agenda of historians of Iran so that the conjectures advanced here can be confirmed, revised, or discarded through future empirical research. Moreover, the article seeks to bring Iran into wider conversations in environmental and global history.

Bu makale, İran'ın geçmişine yönelik siyaset, savaş ve ekonomi odaklı geleneksel kronolojilere meydan okumak amacıyla son bin yılda İran'da meydana gelen iklim olaylarının bir kronolojisini sunmaktadır. İran ve komşu bölgelerdeki, özellikle de Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'ndaki iklim tarih yazımından elde edilen bilgilerden yararlanarak, dört iklimsel soğuma dönemi, İran'daki iklimle ilgili çevresel süreçlerin, görünüşte onları yöneten imparatorlukların politikalarından daha uzun süre daha fazla insanı nasıl etkilediğini göstermektedir. Dolayısıyla bu makale, ileride yapılacak ampirik araştırmalarla burada ileri sürülen varsayımların doğrulanabilmesi, revize edilebilmesi ya da tamamen reddedilebilmesi için iklimi İran tarihçilerinin gündemine daha net bir şekilde yerleştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Dahası, makale İran'ı çevre ve küresel tarih alanındaki daha geniş tartışmalara dahil etmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
