🇮🇷🇵🇰 Iran Is Replacing UAE Ports With Pakistan
Ive been waiting MONTHS for this.
Iran is rerouting a major chunk of its trade logistics away from UAE ports to Pakistani ports and overland corridors. Islamabad formally activated a transit corridor with Tehran this week. Gwadar, Karachi, and Port Qasim are now designated entry points for goods moving into Iran, replacing the role Jebel Ali has historically played.
Over 3,000 Iran-bound containers have been stranded at Karachi since the U.S. naval blockade began. The shortest route, Gwadar to the Iranian border, takes roughly 2 to 3 hours and could cut transport costs by up to 55 percent compared to Karachi.
UAE decided to work with Israel and the U.S. to help them attack Iran. They made their choice, and Islamabad is making its own.
