The creation of two possible land bridges for Iran from its mainland to the shores of the Mediterranean one in southeastern Turkey and the other in northwestern Syria could help both Tehran and Russia to export hydrocarbons.

Two announcements made on consecutive days last week may have far-reaching consequences for the security of the Middle East and the West for years to come if they reach the implementation stage. One was Iran’s offer on 11 May to establish an ‘energy corridor’ from Russia to the Persian Gulf. The other was Turkey’s announcement on 12 May that it is interested in buying more gas and oil from Iran and that the subsequent transit of these resources to eastern Europe through the country is possible.

Iran’s secretary-general of the Eurasian Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mojtaba Damirchilou, highlighted last week that ‘the use of existing infrastructure and the creation of new infrastructure to reach regional markets should be considered, and this in in this regard constructive cooperation has started and we have a clear vision’.
