Iran will become the epicenter of both the Russian North-South Transport Corridor and China's Belt and Road Initiative after the war

What Jiang said

“Iran, once this war ends, becomes the epicenter of two major trade networks... The North-South transport corridor that links Russia... and the Belt and Road Initiative.”

Analysis

Iran sits at the crossroads of major trade networks - Russia's corridor to India/Asia and China's corridor to Europe. Both will invest in Iranian infrastructure.
