Armenia & Azerbaijan: US Base on Iran's Border? | David Pyne & Leonid Savin

A new "peace deal" in the South Caucasus could be the spark that ignites a much larger conflict. The recently signed agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, brokered by the US, establishes the so-called "Zangezur Corridor"—a project that gives America a 99-year strategic foothold right on Iran's northern border. Is this a pathway to peace or a corridor for war?

23:51 Has Russia's Role in the Caucasus Been Diminished?

In this critical discussion, we are joined by David Payne from the United States and Leonid Savin from Russia to dissect this monumental geopolitical shift. We explore how this Armenia-Azerbaijan deal is viewed by all sides: a strategic win for Washington, a pan-Turkic dream for Ankara, a betrayal for Moscow, and a national security nightmare for Tehran.

Iran has made its position crystal clear, threatening to block the corridor by any means necessary. Will this American presence force Iran into military action? Is Armenia's pivot to the West a calculated risk or a fatal error? We dive deep into the lobbying, the power plays, and the high-stakes future of West Asia.
