Why go through so many countries to reach Iran instead of going through Afghanistan?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Afghanistan, Tajikistan and most of Kyrgyzstan are mountainous. The route is going just north of this range.

Why do you think the US had military presence in Afghanistan to keep it destabilized until recently?

They've been thrown out since 2020.

And 5 years is not nearly enough time for the governance in Afghanistan to stabilize to the point where such large scale projects can even start being discussed let alone actually be completed.

I hope Afghanistan will stabilize soon.
