Poldasht (Persian: پلدشت)[a] is a city in the Central District of Poldasht County in Iran's West Azerbaijan province, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4] The city lies on the western bank of the Aras River.
Poldasht is a Persian word meaning arable land by the bridge. The city is situated near the border crossing with the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan. Across the Poldasht-Shah Takhti Bridge over the Aras is the Azerbaijani village of Şahtaxtı. It is one of the two Iran-Nakhchivan border crossings; the other is located near the city of Jolfa in East Azerbaijan Province. Also adjacent to Poldasht is the Aras River Dam.
