I want to test the ability of students to read a passage and answer questions about it. Could you please come up with a good question for the passage "Near East (French: Proche-Orient) is a geographical term that roughly encompasses Western Asia. Despite having varying definitions within different academic circles, the term was originally applied to the maximum extent of the Ottoman Empire. The term has fallen into disuse in English, and has been replaced by the term Middle East."?
The answer to this question is:
Where is Iran?
