Abstract A satisfactory tectonic-magmatic-metallogenic correlation in the East Iran, Middle East for Alpine time was revealed in the region (mainly metallogeny – led by outstanding regional trio: Drs. E. Romanko, A. Houshmand-Zadeh, and M.A.A. Nogol Sadat). Geological northeastern zonation and “hot” tectonics due to the African superplume activity including probably slab delamination is revealed too. Strongly dominated rocks of calc-alkaline and shoshonite series deal with a known subduction of Arabian plate beneath the Central Iran block. Intraplate African superplume-related rocks are subalkaline – alkaline ones including Quaternary carbonatites in Hanneshin, Afghanistan. Tectonic-magmatic pair could be postulated here. General oil / hydrocarbons (HC) productivity decreasing to the north could be in an agreement with corresponding decreasing of African superplume activity too. Regional economic Cu-Au etc. metallogeny is mainly stipulated by a subduction mentioned.

Introduction Middle East is geologically, economically… exclusively interesting region, however, very irregular studied. Great importance of its regional study is obvious. Metallogeny and geology of poorly studied East Iran close a very impressive Alpine - Himalayan structures junction (Khain, 2001; Khain, Leonov 1988; E. Romanko et al, 1984; Houshandzadeh et al., 1986; Imamverdiyev, 2000; Stocklin et al., 1965; Milanovsky, Koronovsky, 1973; Abdullah et al, 1980; etc., Fig. 1) recently studied under the leadership of outstanding trio – known regional specialists Drs. E. Romanko, A. Houshmandzadeh, and M. A. A. Nogol Sadat. 2. Methodology Methodology of our research includes traditional general geological investigations including field works etc., then also special ones, and joint analysis of all materials available since known works led by Dr E. Romanko (E. Romanko, 1984) etc. 3. Results We present new data on magmatic rocks of the region studied: dominated Paleocene – Quaternary subduction-related calc-alkaline rocks and, rare, Eocene – Oligocene shoshonitic-latitic rocks (first group) and principally other subordinate rocks younger Neogene – Quaternary intraplate subalkaline and rarely - alkaline ones (second group). Rocks of the first group (subduction-related differentiated calc-alkaline rocks: basalts - dominated andesites - rhyolites, granodiorites, etc.) are the products of a large subduction of the Tethys lithosphere and Arabian plate beneath the Central Iran block or microplate (Fig. 1). This process is confirmed by the regional tectonic analysis, tomography by known J. Ritsema’s team (Bull et al., 2009 etc.) and petrology and geochemistry (Imamverdiyev, 2000; Romanko et al., 2012; etc., Figure 1). Catastrophic earthquakes of ca. 8 M and more on the Richter scale, unfortunately, are not rare here. A recent catastrophic
