The expiration of Resolution 2231 is expected to affect the stability of the region, as Iran will be able to strengthen its military and nuclear power.

The treaty covers cooperation in defense, trade, energy, science, and culture, aiming to deepen their political alignment while countering Western economic pressure and sanctions.

Iran repeatedly stressed that the “corridor” concept was incompatible with Armenia’s sovereignty and, therefore, unacceptable.

Azerbaijan’s role in the Russia-Iran gas corridor will be decisive. This initiative is not just an energy project but a strategic choice capable of reshaping the South Caucasus.

The corridor will include highways, railways, energy pipelines, and telecom infrastructure, enabling a direct Azerbaijan–Nakhchivan connection, bypassing Iran.

The Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity gives Washington the opportunity to counter Russian and Iranian influence in the South Caucasus.

Azerbaijan’s diplomatic rise is no coincidence. Years of energy-driven partnerships and strategic foresight have transformed Baku into a reliable regional actor.

As militias tighten their grip and minority communities demand autonomy, federalism emerges not as a theory but as Syria’s last realistic chance to survive.

The Russia-Iran relationship is, at its core, a partnership of convenience, not conviction, which will affect its longevity.

Azerbaijan is helping to rewrite the geopolitical script of the South Caucasus through its evolving foreign policy.
