Russia eyes rail link to India as Strait of Hormuz disruptions threaten trade
Russia proposed a rail link to India, aiming to establish an overland freight corridor through Turkmenistan, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. This initiative, driven by disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, seeks to provide Russian freight operators with a direct route to India, mitigating risks associated with maritime chokepoints. The proposal's feasibility will depend on infrastructure development and geopolitical considerations.
