Iran's land efforts to break US siege face barriers
Iran is struggling to overcome the American economic blockade imposed on the country, facing significant obstacles on land corridors and crossings with Pakistan, Turkey, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan. These issues have led to the detention and accumulation of hundreds of trucks at borders, increased costs, and delays in shipments. Despite attempts to compensate through the Caspian Sea routes and railway lines with China, Iran has not succeeded in alleviating the crisis. These bottlenecks have caused a rise in the prices of goods by up to 128%, increased inflation, and considerable financial losses. For example, the cost of transporting a container from China to Iran via land routes has reached $12,000, compared to $3,000 by sea, which puts additional pressure on the Iranian economy.
