CDM has detailed recently direct from the ground in Yerevan the ongoing Armenian security crisis and the Trump administration’s plans to provide a soft security guarantee by leasing and controlling the Zangezur Corridor linking mainland Azerbaijan and the Azeri exclave to the west of Armenia.
The White House is attempting to bring Azerbaijan into the economic fold of the Abraham Accords.
Today we get news of the peace meeting at The White House tomorrow; the Pashinyan influencers in Armenia are touting the information below:
The positioning of more American troops in Asia Minor will certainly be a risk for the United States, especially so close to Iran’s border. But, as we reported yesterday, this ‘soft security guarantee’ may be the best option to protect Christian Armenia from a hostile neighborhood.
Iran is sure to protest.
Hamidreza Azizi, a fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, warned that the plan would “deprive Iran of its natural land access to the South Caucasus through Armenia,” placing it at the mercy of a route “controlled by Azerbaijan or other international actors.”
Speaking to RFE/RL, he called the corridor “the last nail in the coffin,” a step toward what some observers term Iran’s “geopolitical suffocation.”
“The biggest concern in Iran is that such a corridor would, once and for all, end any prospects for Iran’s involvement in…East-West transport,” Azizi said. A US-managed route heightens these anxieties by placing American interests “directly on Iran’s northern border.”
This shift comes as Russia’s leverage in the South Caucasus erodes amid the war in Ukraine and shifting power dynamics since the Second Karabakh War. Iran, once content to defer to Moscow, now finds its buffer under threat, writes RFERL.
With “limited strategic options,” Tehran is engaging all major actors while seeking “closer political and security cooperation with Armenia.”
