Facing Hormuz Blockade, Iran Turns to Caspian Sea Trade Routes
The inland sea has become a strategic hub for surrounding nations, boosted by a new 'Middle Corridor' route linking Asia and Europe while bypassing Russia.
Iran is increasingly relying on the Caspian Sea as a strategic outlet amid a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, according to Le Monde.
The Caspian, a closed sea, has become a fast-growing commercial crossroads, particularly due to the new “Middle Corridor” route connecting Asia and Europe without passing through Russia, Le Monde reported. The newspaper described the sea as a strategic stake for all the countries that surround it.
