The geopolitics of the globe have altered so rapidly and dramatically in the past few years. Events such as the US-China trade war, a worldwide pandemic, Brexit, the introduction of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict continue to alter global geopolitics and supply-chain management. Events such as these, as well as events such as World War II and the alliances of various trade blocs, have contributed to the transformation of trade blocs. Iran and Russia’s collaboration is one such example of a trade bloc alliance.
