> Iran is increasingly moving trade to land borders as restrictions on its southern ports disrupt maritime imports. The shift is placing mounting pressure on crossings with neighbouring countries, especially the main route into Turkiye, where truck lines extend for kilometres and delays can last days or weeks. Drivers say trips that once took a day now take a week, with some completing only one or two journeys every several weeks.
