Key Notes
Russia's trade route through Iran toward the Middle East, Africa, and Asia in Jiang's forecast.
Jiang's shorthand for Russia's own trade-route project, mentioned as a competing logistical vision within any putative Eurasian bloc.
A trade route Jiang cites through Iran to argue that Iran, not Venezuela, sits closer to the center of Eurasian logistics and therefore matters more geopolitically.
Jiang says Israeli and American targeting of Iranian railways attacks infrastructure crucial to Belt and Road and the north-south trade corridor.
Jiang says that if Iran falls, the American empire would control both the oceans and the Eurasian pivot, but if Iran survives, Russia, China, and Iran can build continental rail corridors that bypass US power.
He presents Iran as the key hinge of the emerging Eurasian continental system because it connects Russian, Chinese, and Indian corridor projects that could let the bloc trade around American control.
He argues the Middle East is the center of global trade because the North-South Corridor, Belt and Road Initiative, and Europe-Middle East-India corridor all converge there, so whoever controls that real estate controls global trade.
Using Iran as an example, Jiang says Russia's need for the north-south corridor materially converges with Orthodox eschatology about an alliance between the Orthodox and Islamic worlds.
Jiang says Iran sits at the junction of China's Belt and Road, Russia's North-South corridor, and the Europe-Middle East-India corridor, making Iran the center of the world in Eurasian terms.
Jiang argues that controlling Iran would let an empire dominate major trade corridors linking Chinese and Russian projects, because Iran sits at the center of routes from which toll-taking power can be extracted.
He argues Iran is strategically crucial because Belt and Road and Russia's North-South Corridor both depend on Middle Eastern trade routes that pass through or near it.
