Trucks jammed at Turkey-Iran border as US blockade pushes trade overland

Hundreds of truck drivers are facing multi-day waits at the Gurbulak border crossing between Turkey and Iran. This unprecedented congestion follows a significant surge in overland freight transport. According to a report by The Times of Israel, the situation is a direct consequence of US efforts to block maritime ports and impose strict restrictions on the sea trade of the regime ruling Iran. Drivers have been forced to shift to longer overland routes to bypass these maritime blockades, placing immense pressure on border infrastructure.
