Iranian officials are studying countermeasures against potential maritime blockades in the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf. Tehran may use land and rail routes connecting to Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Pakistan as alternatives to traditional sea lanes.
This move comes amid rising tensions between Iran and Western countries over the nuclear program and regional military activities. Sources from Iran's Foreign Ministry indicate that Tehran has held preliminary talks with neighboring countries on enhancing land transport connectivity.
Experts suggest that establishing alternative routes could help Iran mitigate the impact of sanctions and maintain trade flows with Asian and European partners. However, the effectiveness of these solutions depends on cooperation from intermediary nations and existing infrastructure.
