@Lycaon Iran may gradually captive breed them - rewild/rehabilitate them - reintroduce them finally. I seriously doubt that coz, they didn't rewild amur tigers in Caspian region and some died in captivity.

When India n Iran in deal to exchange their flagship species. In the 1970s, Arzhan National Park was considered as a site for its reintroduction. (https://books.google.co.in/books?id=esV0...&q&f=false; https://books.google.co.in/books?id=t2EZ...&q&f=false). It comes under Lake Parishan Eco-region which has two Protected Zones i.e.., Zone of Arzhan and Parishan. lake in this area is that of Arzhan. The whole, protected area is called "Arzhan National Park."

There was a plan to bring in Gir lions during 1977, but there were issues, and it did not get fulfilled. This area includes the village of Arzhan, and is of agricultural importance, and bringing in lions would mean setting aside farmland, and settling farmers elsewhere.

This happens to be a reason why it is difficult to reintroduce lions from Gir Forest to another place within India.

Nevertheless, Iran's intention to restore its population of lions would continue into the 21st century.
