In which country will you not find the Zagros Mountains?

The Zagros Mountains are a long mountain range in Iran, Iraq and southeastern Turkey. This mountain range has a total length of 1,600 km (990 mi). The Zagros mountain range begins in northwestern Iran and roughly follows Iran's western border, while covering much of southeastern Turkey and northeastern Iraq. From this border region, the range roughly follows Iran's coast on the Persian Gulf. It spans the whole length of the western and southwestern Iranian plateau, ending at the Strait of Hormuz. The highest point is Mount Zardkuh, at 4,548 metres (14,921 ft).

Signs of early agriculture date back as far as 9000 BC to the foothills of the mountains. There were settlements that later grew into cities, eventually named Anshan and Susa. Jarmo is an archaeological site in this area. Shanidar, where the ancient skeletal remains of Neanderthals have been found, is another. Some of the earliest evidence of wine production has been discovered in the mountains; both the settlements of Hajji Firuz Tepe and Godin Tepe have given evidence of wine storage dating between 3500 and 5400 BC.

Jorge Trejos, but not Syria

Another negative question. These questions are indirect and meant to mislead. As where those mountains are instead of where they are not. When asking a negative question like this, the sentence structure is awkward at best and is clearly slight of hand. Question makers should make questions and not try to be magicians.

Grant McIntosh, Going by most of the comments, you are right, it's more of the case, nobody reads these questions properly, their 'assume' what the question is and answer accordingly. As most have said, there are in Iran, Iraq, and Turkey, well yes, but that is the answer.
