Which port, terminal or crossing is the network bottleneck? In a network viewed from Iran, bottlenecks emerge where cargo waits, transport modes change or passage becomes uncertain. A node's strategic weight should be tested against candidate alternatives using origin, destination, cargo, time, cost and reliability evidence.

Where geography meets infrastructure
Geography becomes economically relevant when a sector meets a working corridor, node or project. Each connection carries its evidence state and source; proximity alone is not proof of demand.
Cost and time compared with a bypass route
Connection to relevant corridors, nodes and infrastructure
Corridors cut across sectors; they are not sectors themselves. A route may improve access to a market, but a mapped connection alone does not prove demand or performance.

What the evidence shows, and what is still missing
Iran remains the reference point. The current data records no independent impact observation at province or sector level. That is a gap in evidence, not evidence of no impact.
