Border queues: Are land crossings taking over Iranian ports
The article discusses Iran's expansion in strengthening and deepening its network of border land crossings with neighboring countries, especially Iraq, Turkey, and Azerbaijan. The goal is to diversify supply routes and trade options in light of the restrictions facing maritime traffic. Although the volume of truck traffic crossing these borders has increased, limited capacity and logistical challenges restrict full reliance on land routes. Ports, particularly in the south, remain essential for importing and exporting large quantities of goods. The article highlights that Iran is aiming to diversify risks by expanding the use of multimodal transportation. However, the capacity of land crossings remains limited and is affected by infrastructure quality and customs facilities, underscoring the vital role of seaports in supporting the country's national trade movement.
