Why it matters
The trade surge is a direct consequence of the Iranian port issues and the naval blockade. This increased reliance on overland routes through Turkey and Pakistan is straining existing infrastructure and trade capacity.
Transit through the Caspian Sea has increased by 70%, highlighting Iran's reliance on border crossings through Afghanistan, overland routes through Turkmenistan, and trade routes via Turkey and Pakistan.
