A Challenge for the Suez Canal? Iran on Verge of Activating Massive New Russia-India Trade Corridor

the creation of the long-awaited India-Iran-Russia trade corridor would not only boost trade between the nations, but potentially help to blunt the impact of US sanctions on the Islamic Republic.

the corridor will more than halve the transit time of goods to and from Russia, from 38 days today to 14-16 days,

Silk route

According to details of the draft agreement available with several Iranian accounts on social media, Beijing would change the Silk Road Map, to which Beijing had allocated five billion dollars, to pass through Iran instead of the Arabian Peninsula.

Iran guarantees the extension and security of the road that includes a railway and a highway from the Iranian ports of Bandar Abbas and Chabahar to the Mediterranean via Iraq and Syria.

The plan includes extending a gas and oil pipeline from southern Iran to the Mediterranean, connected to the Syrian port of Baniyas and the Lebanese port of Tripoli. Tehran has already obtained Damascus’s approval to manage the Banias port in the form of long-term investment.

This part of the agreement includes cooperation with Russia, to link the Sea of ​​Oman and the Persian Gulf with northern Europe through Azerbaijan, Russia and the coast of southern Iran with the Baltic Sea.

Chinese companies will undertake the modernization of Iran’s railways to run trains up to speeds of about 400 kilometers per hour, which can deliver goods from the ports of Chabahar and Bandar Abbas to St. Petersburg in less than 24 hours.

►On Eve of Bankruptcy, U.S. Firms Shower Execs with Bonuses
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-bankruptcy-bonuses/on-eve-of-bankruptcy-u-s-firms-shower-execs-with-bonuses-idUSKCN24I1EE
Nearly a third of more than 40 large companies seeking U.S. bankruptcy protection during the coronavirus pandemic
awarded bonuses to executives within a month of filing their cases, according to a Reuters analysis of securities filings and court records.
Under a 2005 bankruptcy law, companies are banned, with few exceptions, from paying executives retention bonuses while in bankruptcy.
But the firms seized on a loophole by granting payouts before filing.

►Eviction Looms for Millions of Americans Who Can’t Afford Rent
https://www.morningstar.com/news/dow-jones/202007162832/eviction-looms-for-millions-of-americans-who-cant-afford-rent

Millions of Americans who have missed rent payments due to the coronavirus pandemic could be at risk of being evicted in the coming months
unless government measures to protect them are extended, economists and housing experts say.

Nearly 12 million adults live in households that missed their last rent payment, and 23 million have little or no confidence in their ability to make the next one,
according to weekly Census Bureau data.

About a third of the country’s renters are protected by an eviction moratorium that covers properties with federally insured mortgages. That expires July 25.
Many renters are jobless and depend on supplemental weekly unemployment benefits of $600 that are due to end on July 31.
