BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 7. Iran will face a
challenging year in the transit sector in the current Iranian year
(March 21, 2025 – March 20, 2026), Javad Hedayati, the
director-general of the Transit Office of Iran’s Road and Transport
Organization, told local media, Trend reports.
According to him, three major problems have been observed in
Iran’s transit sector this year.
Hedayati stated that, firstly, 40 percent of transit cargoes
through Iran are fuel products. Considering that the cost of fuel
worldwide has dropped to $62, this price change will also hurt the
transit of fuel products.
He added that the second port, Iran’s Shahid Rajaee, is
considered the country’s most important transit port. The explosion
in this port was not limited to these days and will harm the
country’s transit in the future.
The official noted that the third issue is related to the
protests of truck drivers in Iran. The drivers’ protest led to
serious problems in freight transportation for some time.
Over the last Iranian year (from March 20, 2024, through March
20, 2025), transit through the country increased to 20 million
tons. This year, it is expected to increase to 22 million tons.
