  1. Ha! Haha! Hahaha!
    This has so many levels of stupid, I don't even know where to begin!
    Maybe the fact that the countries in question are only united by hate (and at that not even all of them). That is a tenuous alliance at best.
    Iran is 1 failed military adventure from a revolution/civil war, India has more to lose then to gain from getting closer to Russia and Russia is incompetent, cleptocratic pseudo-feudal empire, complete with local warlords and dynasties…

  2. This is dumb for both Russia and Iran, and I love it.

    1. Russia competes with Iran to trade natural resources to overseas markets. The only thing that Russia could offer that could possibly make it down this corridor without loosing money might be bulk arms shipments. That's just not going to happen when all your arms are needed elsewhere.

    2. This would be a big, risky gamble that hedges on a bet that Iran will remain friendly to Russia. It's questionable that the Iranian regime will survive a new generation of Iranians seeking power.

    3. Russia can't afford to build this project at the scale needed to make transportation of goods cost-effective.

    4. Iran can't afford to invest in this project at scale either. Why would it? Not much to gain from it. Russia can't afford to pay the tolls the Iranians will want to recover their investment.

    5. Iran would be stuipd as ** to do any kind of contract with Russia that involves giving Russia leverage in any way. Everytime a company does this with Russia, it always ends badly with CEOs falling out of windows, money that goes missing, or assets nationalised by the Russian state. Iran knows this. Partner with Russia for a project involving money? No one is that dumb.

  3. One detail: Let's not feed Putin's personality cult.
    He was a KGB agent alright, but he was not some super-spy who spoke 23 languages and could win a close-quarter fight with both hands tied behind his back – he was a PEN-PUSHER in some dank khrushchevka-like government office in East Germany. Now he's a failing warmongering petty dictator hiding in his bunker in Sochi – and I think we all know what happens to petty warmongering dictators hiding in their bunker as their whole worldview collapses around them.

  4. A corridor for trade requires things worth trading. The biggest commodity of both Iran and Moscow horde is fossil fuels; an Iran-Moscow horde corridor does not help with that. (What will they do, swap oil with each other? Sell to oil-rich central Asian states? The big market for fossil fuels in that part of the world is India, so if anything, a corridor between Moscow horde and Iran really just puts them in competition with each other.)

  5. The exemptions from U.S sanctions in the Persian Corridor can be that investment into the Central Asian States economics to develop. Such access could promote outside investment in from India and an alternative to China. The United States did an exemption with the prior government in Afghanistan for the BRI investments in China to give investment in infrastructure and development. India most likely will the major financier for the project, Russia building railroads and Iran as a key connection for negations between the countries involved.

  6. Russia and Iran, two failing futureless dictatorships trying to find a way out of their misery reminiscent of two blind people talking about the possible color of the wall in front of them.

  7. It is inevitable. This & many more ‘crazy’ ideas & plans will succeed & benefit many nations who have been seen as ‘pariahs’ & shunned by western powers. We are witnessing the collapse of western hegemony.
