Iran and the redesign of the trade routes

American think tank "Hudson": Donald Trump's administration is trying to break the deadlock in the war against Iran, by triggering a new round of sanctions to push that country into international economic isolation. Since the 1979 revolution, Iran has resisted the economic, military and diplomatic pressures of America and its allies.

This time, Tehran hopes to avoid the worst consequences of the sanctions by using the transportation and logistics networks it has created over the years to counter pressure from the West. Russia, Pakistan and China are Iran's main partners in this field. Turkey may become more important both as an export market and as a supplier of goods; While India is expected to take a cautious approach in applying sanctions or asking for exemptions.
