Tehran's demarche - stop Crimea and stop Donbass


Nobody pulled the tongue


The recently announced official refusal of Iran to recognize Crimea, Donbass, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions as Russian territory is due to several reasons at once. But first of all, the fact that Tehran, in anticipation of the resumption of the notorious “nuclear deal”, does not want to provoke further anti-Iranian sanctions pressure from the West.



Countries that are unfriendly to Russia are currently engaged in an unprincipled cleansing of the political and economic space for those who, in one area or another, show at least relative loyalty or tolerance towards Moscow.

With countries such as the BRICS members, this does not work, it is also difficult with Turkey or Hungary. But it turns out that it is very possible to put pressure on Tehran. And after all, no one in Iran was particularly drawn to the language, and Moscow did not set the recognition of the Crimea and four new regions of the Russian Federation as a condition for Tehran in terms of economic integration.

This process, as you know, has been rapidly gaining momentum over the past few years, and not only in Iran’s relations with Russia, but also with its partners in the EAEU and other integration structures. Nevertheless, pressure on Iran turned out to be possible - it is possible that precisely because of Tehran's active interaction with Moscow.

Memory problems


Although the Iranians apparently forgot that the USSR in 1971 cold-bloodedly recognized the inclusion of Iran in the same year in its composition of the three former British islands at the junction of the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf. That still allows Tehran to control almost the entire water area of ​​the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz - these sea gates to the Indian Ocean...

In connection with the Iranian demarche, we note that the North-South Eurasian transit corridor (RF-Azerbaijan-Iran-India) is not yet subject to Western anti-Iranian sanctions. But although this project is being implemented, it is getting slower every year. Thus, the subproject of the connecting northern Iranian railway line Rasht - the port of Astara - only 165 km - has not yet been implemented.

Interestingly, construction here began back in the early 2010s, when the pressure of sanctions against Iran, and even more so against Russia, was much weaker. Only in mid-January 2023, the parties agreed to speed up the construction of this section.

However, there is no financial support under the project - the sources of its financing (approximately 800 million euros in current prices) have not yet been officially announced. The fact is that this line is focused on the growth of international freight transit in the direction of Azerbaijan - the Russian Federation (and in the opposite direction).


Sanctions against the Russian Federation and Iran, as Tehran believes, may extend to the entire North-South corridor if the mentioned Rasht-Astara line is built. Moreover, since 1997, US sanctions have been in effect against the long-standing project of the Caspian-Persian Gulf shipping channel (RF-Iran).

Therefore, an extremely promising and obviously integration project is not being implemented. Since the mid 2010s There are also US sanctions against Iranian oil exports. Obviously, these factors directly or indirectly impede more active Iranian-Russian cooperation.

In this regard, since 2022, Iran has been speeding up the formation of an adjacent, moreover, non-sanctioned, railway corridor of China - Pakistan - Iran - Turkey, with branches from southern Turkey to the ports of Syria (Tartus, Baniyas) and through Syria to the ports of Lebanon (Saida, Tripoli).

To date, about 70% of the total length of such a large-scale corridor is in operation, and at least 60% of the financing here is provided by the PRC - in the form of state and commercial loans on favorable terms. Plus, Iran, together with Iraq, forms its part of the railway and parallel oil pipeline corridor to the ports of Syria.


More precisely, two Iranian-Iraqi railway border crossings are still operating, but at the beginning of 2022, the parties agreed on the construction in 2023 of a 30 km steel line between the port of Basra (the largest Iraqi port in the Persian Gulf) and the Iranian border checkpoint Shalamche, connected by a railway (20 km) with the Iranian port of Khorramshahr.

They will go the other way


The significance of the new Iran-Iraq railway goes beyond the bilateral framework, as it will become an integral part of the East-West route: China-Pakistan-Iran-Iraq-Syria/Lebanon. Accordingly, according to the Iraqi Ministry of Transportation, the new Iran-Iraq line "will eliminate the gap in the East-West railway corridors, providing Iraq with a new outlet, through Iran, to Afghanistan, Pakistan and India." In addition to this, the same line will create "a new connection of Iran's railways with the ports of Syria and Lebanon" through Iraq.

This is not the end of large-scale regional projects - in addition, it is planned to create in 2023-2024. new railway lines between Iran and Pakistan, where so far only one steel line is in operation.


In the more distant future, the establishment of a direct rail link between Iran and Afghanistan. There is also information that the Iranian side is increasingly proposing to Pakistan and India to develop border transit infrastructure so that all of South Asia is included in the East-West corridor system.

It seems that in the current geopolitical conditions, Tehran is more interested in this Eurasian corridor, in which Russia, which has fallen under sanctions, does not participate. Therefore, the activation of the work of the North-South corridor is already a second priority.

Indirect, if not direct, confirmation of this is, we repeat, the official refusal of Iran, announced the other day, to recognize the sovereignty of the Russian Federation in the Crimea, Donbass, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.

Among other things, this also sends a signal to the West about Tehran's readiness to take into account anti-Russian sanctions. And thereby achieve the weakening (or even lifting) of sanctions against Iran - at least the oil ones.

    I think this is a private opinion. And it will not affect our relations with Iran in any way. Those countries that do not support the recognition of Crimea, Donbass and other lands do not do this because of political gain. And above all, taking care of the integrity of their country. And there are such threats.

The basis of the union is the commonality of interests and the predominance of benefits from the union over the possible risks from such a union. Allies are not friends, but only partners in a particular situation.

      About railways. Uzbekistan in the early 2000s, for its own money, built a railway line that connected the network of Turkmenistan with Iran and received access to the southern seas. Today, the Termez Mazar-i-Sharif railway operates, it will be extended to Kabul and further to Pakistan. While Russia is making plans, Uzbekistan is working.

      So recognition, non-recognition will not change anything, and from certain angles it is insignificant. Won Northern Cyprus is unrecognized by anyone, Turkey is neither cold nor warm from this. As in many other such cases, and there are many of them. The main thing is that the population on the ground recognizes.

    but fortunately, Putin is an excellent diplomat and smart enough to look at action of Iran not what she says for political reason.
    I like to remind our dear author that Iran is the only country on the planet who is actively helping Russia with drone and punished for it with sanctions but Iran didn't back down and continued to help Russia.
    unlike what author wants us to believe Iran do not care about west or their punishment as shown us with her action

I do not believe in a trade route from Murmansk to India, but I am sure that trade with Iran should be developed as much as possible.

    Russia did an excellent job of supporting sanctions against Iran to please the West. And now some childish grievances that Iran can support sanctions against Russia in exchange for easing its sanctions. By the way, over the past 20 years, Iran has made a phenomenal scientific and technological breakthrough, turning into a formidable owner of modern weapons, for which the West fears and respects Iran. Even the main Iranian enemy Israel admits that Iran has the highest technology with the production of unique types of weapons. So maybe this is the answer: why is Iran respected and feared in the West, unlike our country, which, apart from cardboard mock-ups for the victory parade, cannot imagine anything else?

    That's who it's stupid to be offended by, so it's the Iranians. They have done and are doing more than anyone we could count on. Our folk sidekick - recep - also does not recognize Crimea, so what? that doesn't stop him from kissing his gums every two weeks. By the way, the Persians don't like it very much. Another thing is that the fates of Iran and Russia are similar - and so far we are forced (or maybe it's love?) To support each other. I think the Persians understand that their fossils are the real cause of their problems. And Russia has nothing to do with it.

    This is a principled position and has nothing to do with sanctions. It is almost impossible to increase sanctions pressure on Iran. In Iran, China, Serbia and so on, they could easily recognize the pro-Russian government in Ukraine, which is waging a civil war with the illegal junta in Kyiv. But they cannot be expected to recognize the annexation of the territory by another state. And at the same time, Russia points out as an example of such an annexation of Kosovo and a referendum there? Then in the same way it is possible to organize a referendum on independence in Taiwan or in Iranian Azerbaijan and Kurdistan.

    Generally speaking, few multinational states recognize what we "drank". Because this (apart from the correctness or incorrectness in our particular situation) is an extremely bad precedent for any multinational state, with minorities, part of the territories of compact residence of which are located in neighboring states. Or even, in principle, with some national minorities that some neighbors can "shake" and also embrace with "green men". Even purely hypothetically. Not a single state with a head would please such a prospect, and therefore they will also not be in a particular hurry with recognition. I emphasize that this applies specifically to multinational states.
    The question here is not "right or wrong", but that any NORMAL state in terrible nightmares, except perhaps, sees what happened to the USSR in 1991, when parts of the once unified whole blurred in all directions. And any recognition of such a fact "on the side" can be fraught with internal stability in difficult times for themselves.
