Iran is located on several international transit routes (North-South International Corridor, East-West International Corridor). Nevertheless, the infrastructure on the trajectory of these routes passing through the country is not fully sufficient, the territory of Iran is not considered a reliable route for international cargo companies, and international sanctions have been applied against this country. Based on this, international companies are not interested in transiting through Iran.
