Iran and Russia are engaged in a fierce competition for sales of oil, refined crude products and metals in India, China and across Asia, as Moscow sells at prices that are undercutting one of its few supporters during the Ukraine invasion.
For Russian companies’ part, they have little choice. Russia’s storage tanks for excess oil and fuel are full in Russia, the Netherlands and the U.A.E.
“They need to sell,” said the Iranian oil trader.

See what the dopey people are doing?
Only the Biden admin (meaning his unnamed handlers) could have been so incompetent and/or sabotage-minded that they have:
1. Driven Russia and China together as a military alliance. [Keeping Russia and China divided has been a U.S. strategic imperative since the 1950s.]
2. Driven Russia, Iran and India together, to create the The International North-South Transport Corridor, short-cutting the Suez Canal and making the EU irrelevant to trade.
3. Driven both Saudi Arabia AND Iran [otherwise enemies] to request to join the BRICS [Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa] economic zone.
Way to go, Team Biden!!
“The duration of the journey is less than 25 days, as opposed to the approximately 40 days it now takes to move cargo from Russia to India through the Baltic Sea – North Sea – Mediterranean Sea – Suez Canal – Red Sea -Arabian Sea route.”
Russia has started using an alternate route to ship goods to India, through Caspian Sea and Iran, bypassing the Mediterranean Sea – Suez Canal route. Russia dispatched a test cargo to India from St. Petersburg via Iran o Saturday, operationalising the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC). According to Russia Briefing, Iran’s state-owned shipping firm has announced the first transit of Russian products to India via the INSTC.
Economic Times, quoting Dariush Jamali, director of a joint-owned Iranian-Russian terminal in Astrakhan, reported that goods originating in St. Petersburg are on their way to Russian city Astrakhan, which is the Caspian port city located on the delta of Volga river. In Astrakhan, the cargo will be reloaded at the Solyanka Port in the city. They will then go across the Caspian Sea to Iran’s Anzali Port, where they will be carried by road through Iran to the port city of Bandar Abbas in southern Iran. The goods will again be loaded onto ships at the Iranian port, and from there the goods will be delivered to India’s largest container port in Navi Mumbai.
Two 40-foot (12.192-meter) containers of wood laminate sheets totalling 41 tonnes were included in the test shipment. The duration of the journey is less than 25 days, as opposed to the approximately 40 days it now takes to move cargo from Russia to India through the Baltic Sea – North Sea – Mediterranean Sea – Suez Canal – Red Sea -Arabian Sea route. Aside from shortening the time it takes for transport between India and Russia, INSTC is seen as a feasible alternative for Indo-Russian trade in the face of present international issues. The journey time will shorten even more after a rail route Iran is constructing is completed.
Final war is Islam vs Communism. So these are the teams representing the battle for control of Earth and whatever’s left of it. Wonderful…
This wouldn’t be happening without the Democrats’ incessant Russia-Russia-Russia false flag operation, which began
under Obama and continues through the Biden usurpation.
Thanks Travis. Great stuff!
