US sanctions target Iran's rail sector as Tehran shifts cargo from sea routes to overland corridors

As US sanctions expand to Iran's rail sector, Tehran is relying more heavily on overland links with China and Central Asia. But capacity constraints, delays and costs limit rail's ability to replace maritime trade.

美国在10月1日制裁伊朗铁路与汽车企业，试图堵住伊朗在海运受限后日益依赖的陆路贸易通道。但专家指出，铁路运力有限、实际运输时间远长于宣传，难以替代海运，制裁反而可能推动伊朗进一步靠向中国和俄罗斯。
