The proposed Zangezur Corridor, a transport route linking Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave via Armenia's Syunik province, has become a flashpoint for regional and global powers. The US has reportedly proposed managing the corridor, raising alarm in Iran and Russia, who see it as a threat to their strategic interests and regional influence. Armenia has publicly rejected the US proposal, citing legal and sovereignty concerns, while Azerbaijan pushes for the corridor as part of its broader regional ambitions. Iran warns the project is a US-Israeli plot to isolate Tehran and Moscow, and military drills have been conducted in response. The controversy highlights shifting alliances and the high stakes of connectivity projects in the South Caucasus, with Russia increasingly sidelined as the US, Turkey, and Israel seek greater influence.
