Iran is increasingly relying on land trade routes as a countermeasure to the ongoing maritime blockade, according to Iran’s top security official, Mohsen Rezaei. Rezaei highlighted Tehran's geographical position, which provides access to 15 neighboring countries, and the potential for alternative commerce outside of sea-based trade.
Additionally, Iran and Oman have reportedly agreed on a new international corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, with Tehran managing the route. This development comes as Iran seeks to reduce its dependence on shipping and navigate the challenges posed by the maritime blockade.
