Which mountains in the middle east influence the climate of the region?
There are really three mountain/hill groups in the Middle East that have a strong effect.1) The Judean Hills, the Mount Lebanon Range, and the Anti-Lebanon Mountains form a long line of mountains that are somewhat inland from the Mediterranean coast. The windward sides of these mountains are along the Mediterranean, creating more fertile regions in northern Israel and Lebanon between the mountains and the Mediterranean. These ranges also create a rainshadow for southern Israel, much of Jordan and a large portion of Syria. This is why those areas are mostly deserts, save for river irrigation.2) The Elburz and Zagros Mountains create a large internal rainshadow in Iran, which is called the Dasht-i-Lut and is one of the most lifeless areas on Earth. However, along these mountain ranges are relatively fertile regions, including where Tehran, the capital of Iran, sits.3) Sarawat Mountains run along the southwestern edge of the Arabian Peninsula, extending along the Saudi and Yemeni coast of the Red Sea. These mountains create a very minimal windward side, which in Yemen hosts the majority of that country's agriculture and population. Far more extensive is the rainshadowed Arabian desert, which dominates most of the rest of the peninsula.
