Iranian media and political circles have intensified their focus on the Zangezur Corridor, portraying it as a serious threat to the country’s security and interests — and consistently pointing to Azerbaijan as the main source of that “threat.”
According to the “Free Iran” channel, the level of coordinated messaging suggests that journalists and analysts have received guidance from a centralized authority to keep the corridor issue high on the public agenda. The aim appears to be to instill the perception that the project undermines Iran’s geopolitical position.
A glance at recent Iranian headlines illustrates the narrative: “The Zangezur Conspiracy,” “Zangezur and Davud Corridors: A Silent Declaration of War on Iran,” “Geopolitical Threats of the Zangezur Corridor to Iran,” “Zangezur – The Explosion Point in the Caucasus: Shaping a War for a New World Order on Iran’s Borders,” “Zangezur Corridor: The Conflict Between Iran’s Interests and the Republic of Azerbaijan,” and “Zangezur: A New Front in the Geopolitical War.”
While these articles come from media outlets tied to different political factions — and even to certain officials — they share a unified stance: depict Azerbaijan as an adversary engaged in secretive schemes against Iran. This campaign, analysts note, relies on repetitive falsehoods, disinformation, and deliberate omission of key facts.
The result is a sustained information offensive aimed at shaping public opinion in Iran, casting the Zangezur Corridor not as a regional transport project but as a strategic danger — and framing Baku as the driving force behind it.
