5 hrs confidence:  peer agreement (net): +1 | جبال بشتكوه = الجبال الشرقية (شرقي العراق) = جبل مانشت Mansht Mountain, (aka Eastern mountains)
Explanation:
جبال بشتكوه = الجبال الشرقية (شرقي العراق) = جبل مانشت
Mansht Mountain (now in west Iran)
Eastern Mountains (in Kurdish language, range east of Iraq)
This refers to the mountain range that stretches noth-south and divides between Iraq (West) and Iran (East).
The name pronounced as "Bashtagoh" is a Kurdish word that means (behind the mountains), that is the Eastern range from which the Iranian side begins.
This paragraph refers to the boundary of the Arab World, so it starts from Taurus Mountains (from south Turkey) down to the north of Iraq running down east (Iran).
I would assume there is no بشتكوية mountains, but a Kurdish mountainous region known as بشتكوه, currently known as Mansht, in former Lesser Lorestan, nowadays known as Ilam.
