It connects major export hubs in eastern China with ports in the UK, Netherlands, Germany and Poland in roughly 20 days—about half the Suez transit time. But navigation is controlled by Russia’s state nuclear company Rosatom, requiring permits and icebreaker escorts, and Western sanctions and climate change add further uncertainty, even as the cold benefits sensitiv

The memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran is set to expire on Monday. Still, former senior US diplomat Alan Eyre told Al Jazeera that “it doesn't make much of a difference” as both sides “violated it almost the moment after it was signed.” He said the US is blockading Iranian ports. At the same time, Iran keeps the Strait of Hormuz closed, and that Iran's leadership, which he described as “more hardline, more radical” than its predecessor, has decided to “increase the p
