Hormuz Remains Closed. What Happens to Iran Now? | Gwadar, Chabahar & Eurasia | Zaur Hasanov

The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed since 28 February 2026, following Operation Epic Fury and Iran's retaliatory blockade. Most coverage focuses on global oil prices and the US naval response — this conversation asks what almost no one is asking: what is the closure doing to Iran itself?

In this episode of the Pakistan Global Alumni Network (PGAN) Podcast, we sit down with Zaur Hasanov, a Eurasia connectivity and security expert and former adviser at the Baku International Sea Trade Port, to unpack Iran's structural dependence on Hormuz, from Bandar Abbas and the failure of Chabahar as an alternative, to how Pakistan, Gwadar, and Azerbaijan's Middle Corridor are reshaping Eurasian trade as the regional order is rewritten.

A practical, infrastructure-grounded conversation on logistics, deterrence, and the real constraints behind the geopolitical headlines.
