Strait outta Hormuz:
Iran has resorted to shipping via land as the blockade and additional economic sanctions are changing the Iranian economy
"Before the war, more than 80% moved through its Southern ports. Now, with maritime routes restricted, Tehran is turning to its land borders.
Imports rose 250% Gurbulak [Turkey] rose 250%.
Longer journeys mean higher costs for businesses and ultimately, customers.
Land routes can only replace part of what Turkey has lost at sea.
A journey that once took a way, now can take up to a week.
Over the past 3 months, there has been severe congestion."
Iran's geography once an advantage, now a disadvantage.
