🇵🇰Pakistan just opened 6 land corridors to Iran. 6 overland routes from Karachi and Gwadar straight to the Iranian border Gabd, Taftan, multiple variants. 3rd country goods can now transit Pakistan to Iran by truck under customs oversight. 3,000+ containers were sitting stranded in Karachi, unable to sail because of Hormuz. They now have a road. Pakistan presents this as trade policy. The effect is strategic: it punches a hole in the economic logic of the US naval blockade. The blockade controls the sea not the Karakoram Highway. Oil and bulk energy flows are still choked trucks can't replace tankers at that scale. But machinery, consumer goods, industrial inputs, and 3rd-country cargo can now reach Iran overland. These corridors can carry Chinese or other foreign goods into Iran under Pakistani transit rules. Every country that trades with Iran and doesn't want to pick a side is watching. The naval blockade is still the dominant pressure. But it just got flanked.
