Are Russia and Iran doing an end-around American and European sanctions?


This is from Facebook with nothing in the way of documentation, but it's an interesting possibility.

However, The Economist is carrying the story here; and The Moscow Times reports it here.

It's not surprising that western news sources are largely ignoring it, it doesn't fit the acceptable narrative.



Russia and Iran have announced a new rail and shipping route that will wipe out all American and EU sanctions.

Russia and Iran are building a new transcontinental railway trade route that stretches from the eastern edge of Europe to the Indian Ocean, a 3,000-kilometer passage beyond the reach of any foreign intervention.

The two countries are spending billions of dollars to expedite river freight and Caspian Sea-connected railways. Dozens of Russian and Iranian ships – including some subject to sanctions – are already en route.

It's an example of how competition between big powers is rapidly reshaping trade networks in a global economy bracing to collapse in rival blocs.

Don't worry folks, Americans will blow it up like Nord Stream II
