The agreement builds not only on Russian-Iranian cooperation regarding Ukraine and efforts to evade Western sanctions, but also on the North-South Transport Corridor โ€“ an initiative championed by Moscow to facilitate trade from Asia to Russia.

This route, designed to bypass geopolitical choke points like the Suez Canal and the Baltics, favours a land corridor through Iran, Azerbaijan, and the Caspian Sea.

Shame Russia shot down an Azari civilian plane and "supported" Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh (not that Armenia deserved the war). Good luck with that land corridor you terrorist fucks.
