Summary
The Telegraph reported Russia has turned the Caspian Sea into a new military supply corridor with Iran, using the northern port of Olya to receive drone components and ammunition.
Olya sits at the center of the route, which the report says now supports the war efforts of both Moscow and Tehran and gives Russia a channel Washington cannot currently block.
The route’s future could hinge on a US strategy built around Azerbaijan’s growing role in the South Caucasus while letting Ukraine keep pressure on the corridor without direct US involvement.
The report adds to a string of allegations about expanding Russia-Iran military ties, including claims this year that Moscow shared force-location information, advised on drone tactics and may have supplied missiles.
