Hundreds of Trucks Stranded at Turkey-Iran Border Amid US Blockade

Hundreds of trucks have piled up at the Turkey-Iran border following a US blockade on Iran. The blockade has severely restricted the majority of Iran's imports, disrupting overland trade routes. Iran's oil and gas exports, which form the backbone of its economy, have also been significantly curtailed. In response, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has called for urgent measures to speed up overland trade as an alternative. The situation highlights the mounting economic pressure Iran faces due to the US-imposed restrictions.
