[47811] Iran develops eight alternative trade corridors to bypass maritime threats

Iran works to change the international trade map

Against the backdrop of concerns over security threats in the maritime domain, Mohammad Reza Kanad-Zadeh, Deputy Head of the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran, announced that Tehran has completed the planning of eight alternative trade corridors. According to the report in آخرین خبر, the initiative is intended to "bypass maritime threats in the south" and ensure the continuity of Iranian exports and imports.

These statements were also echoed on the حامیان پزشکیان channel, which is affiliated with supporters of the current administration, emphasizing government efforts to neutralize external influences on the national economy. According to Kanad-Zadeh, work on the alternative routes is already in advanced stages.

The goal of the strategy is to reduce the vulnerability of Iran's economy to maritime blockades or disruptions in major shipping lanes, while creating an extensive land transport network. This is a significant move in Tehran's foreign and economic policy, which seeks to ensure its stability in the face of ongoing international pressure.
