Russia and Iran are creating a path to bypass sanctions – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news

According to Mehr news agency, the website of Bloomberg TV announced in a report today that Russia and Iran are building an intercontinental trade route that will be far away from any foreign interference.

According to this media, the road under construction is 3 thousand kilometers long (one thousand and 86 miles) and stretches from Eastern Europe to the Indian Ocean.

In this regard, Bloomberg added: Russia and Iran are spending billions of dollars to speed up shipping along rail lines and rivers that are connected by the Caspian Sea. Ship tracking data compiled by Bloomberg show that dozens of Russian and Iranian ships – including those under sanctions – are moving along this route.

The report further adds: The development of this route is one of the examples of the rapid transformation of business networks due to the competition of big powers in the global economy, which is being divided into competing blocs. Tehran and Moscow, which are under the pressure of Western sanctions, are cooperating with each other and both countries have adopted the policy of looking to the East.

The website of this TV channel adds: The purpose (of this policy) is to create a shield for commercial communications against foreign interference and to establish new communications with the huge and growing economies of Asia.

Based on this, “Maria Shagina” (Maria Shagina), an expert on Russian foreign policy issues, declared: the issue is related to the creation of anti-sanction supply chains in this direction.

The Bloomberg report emphasizes that this trade route will allow Russia and Iran to shorten thousands of kilometers of current routes. The Sea of ​​Azov is located on the northern bank of this route.
