Moscow and Tehran Working to Block U.S. Involvement in Zangezur Corridor (Paul Globe – The Jamestown Foundation)

Azerbaijan and Armenia are considering an agreement featuring U.S. management of transit through Armenia via the Zangezur Corridor to link Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave.
Russia and Iran are staunchly opposed to the proposal because they fear that U.S. involvement in the route would threaten their control of north–south trade through the South Caucasus.
Moscow and Tehran are determined to torpedo any agreement of U.S. involvement, meaning that the closer peace appears to be, the more likely a new and broader conflict will become.
