"Iran shares Russia’s opposition to such East-West connectivity projects for many of the same reasons (as well as Azerbaijan’s economic and security ties with Israel), and its escalating tensions with the United States are likely to create greater uncertainty in that regard. If the Iranian government can survive its own domestic turbulence, this could drive Tehran and Moscow even further together in opposing such U.S. activity in the region. But if significant political changes in Iran come as a result of unrest and pressure from the United States, then this could create further momentum for initiatives like the TRIPP (Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity)," according to the American magazine Foreign Policy.
