I really hope this works out for them. It would so refreshing to have some good news from the middle east for once.
I have a feeling the West will get involved and something bad will happen
For sure the US will be there to ruin it
For sure!
The desert and very
marginal farmland in
western Iraq (as well
as in eastern Syria is
about finished off
this the ongoing (of
about 2 decade)
drought in the area.
It will fail because the dominant religion is not interested in peace with the West
It won't happen when US & Israel & Russia & Western countries forces are in the middle east. Don't get your hopes high yet if you care about middle east.
This is actually a smart infrastructure investment. Unlike so many vanity projects in the Middle-East. This should pay for itself quickly, and keep Iraq economy from relying on oil only.
Dumb!
True, but it is just a giant toll road, which would need to compete with other routes, there's always a fee somewhere, it will be a fee war at some point.

Finally my country is getting the spotlight and we're moving on the right path ☀
100% correct - a stable Iraq will do wonders for the whole middle east! I'm actually based in Iraq, been here on and off for over ten years, and there is a palpable sense that something positive is happening... so many challenges but there's a change in the atmosphere. And it feels good!

All politicians are thieves and corrupt, we have seen many promises from them over the past 18 years, such as uninterrupted electricity, building the tallest tower in the world, high-speed internet, all of these projects and deals are stolen in the end, even the simplest ones like building flat roads for driving
A country that can't even secure its borders and aviation wants to become the main road to the Middle East. Funny.
The Iraqi citizens face very big problems such as unemployment, extreme heat and power outages.Unbreathable atmosphere and undriveable roads A big dream like the one in the video is a big leap for the necessities of life.
😂😂😂 I know how it is, as a Balkan guy. Here also everything looks good, but it is not 😂
I'm happy seeing many people in the comments root for them. Iraq has so much potential for it to languish in poverty like this. A richer Iraq will solve so many of the Middle East's problems.

I mean, infrastructure is the best way to speed up economic development since easier/faster/cheaper transport translates to cheaper goods and more business activity in general
I've checked the fragile states index which basically assesses the integrity of the government. The score is from 0 (no problems whatsoever) to 120 (failed state). Higher scores increase the liklihood of social unrest and coups. There isn't a specified point at which a civil war becomes likely but I would pay close attention to when a country is above 90 because that puts it closer to failed state status than even middle-of-the-road which is 60.
It's not too surprising that Iraq has spent its entire time since 2006 (when the index started keeping track) above 90. That is until this year. In 2007, it peaked at 111.4, being only 8.6 points away from maximum instability. It decreased to 102.2 in 2014 before rebounding due to ISIS, reaching a peak of 105.4 in 2017. After 2017, ISIS ceased to be a significant threat and the country saw a decline in instability. In 2024, Iraq stands at 88.6 which is actually lower than Lebanon which stands at 92.7.
Is there any country in the ME @ 60 or less?

I sure wish it works out well. The main obstacle to this project is Iran. They'll fiercely oppose any project that risks weakening their hold on Iraq.
If the Iranians rebel and can overthrow the Ayatollah and the rest of his fanatics then Iran would most likely start to support this.
@@stevewright9779 It doesn't work like this.The IRGC is very strong and they are bloody fanatics. The armed forces are not a factor.

I’m very, very happy to hear this. I’m Irish and have alway been interested in Middle East politics, geography and history. My soon to be wife is Egyptian. Total coincidence and lately I’ve been trying to learn Arabic. I’m very happy to see GOOD NEWS like this coming out of Iraq and I really hope the Middle Eastern nations keep pushing toward a more capitalist, market leaning environment and away from wars and conflicts. People can get along. We just need to create a good economy between east and west. China and the west with the Middle East as a strong anchor. It can work. We are all smart people.
Iraq and the middle east were peaceful till the western powers came in and bombed it back to the stone age

For the young people (im 50) . You really need to specify between the Iran Iraq war, the first Gulf War in 1991 and the second Gulf war in 2003.
I wish nothing but the best of luck in this endeavour!
Cheers to those who developed this plan and created the needed compromises.
The compromise has always been the barrier. well done.
While many focus on the Development Road as just a transport link, it's actually much more. Yes, the initial $17 billion covers the port, roads, and railway, with companies like Daewoo Engineering and Construction involved, but the true scope goes beyond that. This project is designed to revolutionize Iraq's economy. It's about building new electricity grids, logistics hubs, and entire industrial cities along the route. By 2040, it aims to position Iraq as a key trade hub, creating jobs, boosting industries, and driving long-term economic growth-not just improving transportation.
Before anyone says anything to knock this, I want to say that our investments in our highway system in the USA have a phenomenal return on investment in terms of the commerce they enable. May this project may help bring peace and prosperity to Iraq.

Greetings from Babylon 🇮🇶 , the city of knowledge and the world, to all parts of the world. I say to you, expect us.
I honestly doubt this scheme will turn Iraq into an important corridor for trade, but it will nevertheless be an important tool for global connection for iraqi cities as well as good way to strenghten Iraq's ability to keep control of their lands

I don't see any point in Kuwaiti Port. As their own rhetoric says, It would be a gigantic door without any freaking garage
The idea behind their new port, which was introduced some 15 years ago when Iraq was at its weakest, is to landlock Iraq on its 58km2 coastline by building new port close to Iraq's coastline in order to connect it with Iraq via railway. So not only to landlock Iraq, but to to have finanicial and political influence over Iraq and to prohibit any attempt to build new port in the tight area by Iraq
Some years ago it was leaked that previous decision-makers in Iraq received bribe from Kuwait in order to approve railway connection but luckily the approval never procceed although they received the bribe.
This reminds me of the 90's when Kuwait declared financial war on Iraq, but this time politicans in Iraq seem to have learned the lesson by not using the force
It was Erdogan who strongly opposed India Middle East Europe corridor and pushed idea of corridor to go through Iraq and Turkey no body should forget that if this project becomes reality %100 credit should go to Erdogan
I really hope this will work put for Iraq it really needs to see a light at the end of the tunel after 2 decades of bas economy and wars.
No roads can overcome corruption, you just get expensive tolled roads.
But if the cost savings or benefits outweigh the tolls and the corruption the roads can pay for themselves.
That’s why a nation needs a proper military and rule of law to prevent it. But Iraq can’t even stand on 2 legs anymore, all these dictatorships with failed states under them trying to do mega projects like as if they are as developed as the West is what makes them always fail
@@meilinchan7314 A road running through Iraq from sea to Turkey already exists. I'm not sure what cost savings or benefits exist by building another road.

It's hard to imagine why anyone would decide to use this for the purpose of transporting goods from Asia to Europe. Trains and trucks just can't compete with container ships in terms of efficiency for longer trips, so its preferable to minimise their use.
The prospect of saving a handful of days is pretty irrelevant in most supply chains and anything that needs to get somewhere fast will fly there.
Plus, it's not long til the northwest passage and arctic ocean become navigable making shorter/faster/safer routes around Canada a competitor
"The prospect of saving a handful of days is pretty irrelevant"
It is not. That is billions upon billions of USD we are talking about. Halting the Suez canal caused 9 billion USD worth of economic damage every single day.
@justsefa1843 Those billions are ofset by the cost of offloading ships, loading trucks and paying people to drive. Meanwhile just having the ships go through the canal is cheaper.
@@RK-cj4oc You have the cost of offloading ships anyways. If I want to send goods to Turkey from let's say Bangladesh, would it really be cheaper, if I take extra days to navigate around Suez? That is the question here. I dont think the people that made the project ignored the most basic question: How much profit can be made?
If you want to send goods from the US to Europe, duh the port plays no role at all, but the targetted market is asia/south asia. I am not convinced that this is a useless and profitless project. Not to mention that saving days for a small cost increase is still much much more profitable than saving some money but increasing your delivery by days.
@@justsefa1843 Those were the costs of delays and the piling up backlogs and bottlenecks caused by the delays.
A thing that needs to be somewhere on day X is ordered well in advance so that it will be where it needs to be on the said day. It doesn't matter how much time the thing spends sitting on a container ship as long as it arrives when it's supposed to arrive and this is the problem that this project suffers from.
I really love your videos since you analyze the topic in depth while neatly matching it with a smart choice of visual information. As your name is the Caspian sea, for its relative closeness, I would be very happy if you covered Georgia as I don't as many videos about it, much less videos that explore it in depths such as yours. If Georgia is too small a topic for you, feel free to cover all of the Caucasus. Much love and, I am just happy to be able to leave this comment here, if nothing else.

as a Highway/Transport Engineer from Iraq, this project (on paper) is probably the best thing that would happen to Iraq since the Medieval golden age... this corridor is one of the reasons the British colonized Iraq, they tried to establish a route from their other colony in India to UK through Iraq, this corridor was famously known as "the orient express"
however it is hard to be optimistic
- Iraq is still extremely weak politically, and almost all countries involved, have interests, or competing with Iraq, can take advantage of this project on the behest of Iraq (Turkey for example who is the key partner, made some very difficult demands in exchange of their partnership, even though they would benefit from it too, which Iraq had to accept because very few countries are willing to partner with Iraq in better terms due to this political weakness) as well as many foreign interferences in the government
- corruption is also extreme in Iraq, with almost all projects end up only on paper and their entire budgets disappear, not to mention Iraq does not have sorverienty in its economy since US and UK took over the oil fields and ALL of Iraq's income goes to US banks as a hostage.. and US controls the Iraqi money that Iraq can get based on the government performance if it is beneficial or not to the empire.
- you perfectly mentioned why Iran don't want this to happen and it is 100% accurate, but failed to mention (as expected) why the US will also not allow it to happen, you briefly mentioned how the US and EU threw massive cheers for India- middle east because it involves both Saudi Arabia and their colony Israel, so it is purely about geo politics. The US had already began massive propaganda campaigns against the Faw port project because it involves China, and they successfully halted the project for few years, and they also threatens Iraq regularly to cut our oil money if Iraq doesn't comply to the US.
- also, a lack of engineering expertise can turn this project into harm more than good with poor engineering judgment, even the most prestigious international engineering firms could very well perform poorly due to lack of any engineering standards and regulations, as well as corruption, corporations will want to maximize the profits first and foremost
But there's nothing I wish more in my life from all my heart more than we can overcome these challenges, and see this project through to life as intended

@@isaac4800 there's blatant misinformation and assumptions in every video. For example, the recent video about Iran. Go to the comments and it's Iranians clarifying how much the Islam religion doesn't matter to them. Meanwhile CR is stating the religion is what holds the country together.
It's in every video. Every single video. He's just wrong very often. Didn't used to be as bad. But at least the last 2-4 years this channel's shown little to no integrity.
@@cellamuertWho told you that religion does not unite Iranians?! Forget about those Persians who hate Islam and Arabs, their number is in the millions, but the truth is that most Iranians are extremist Shiites! I have visited Iran more than once and I have friends from there. Iranians come by the millions to my city of Karbala (holy to the Shiites) in Iraq, crying and kissing the holy places! There is a liberal Iranian movement that wants freedom and Western values, but the number of Islamists is much greater than them, and the number of Islamists is much greater than the liberals.
work tirelessly 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
better say "steal tirelessly" 😂
As a Kurdish person myself frm slemani I will say that our territory should be ruled my Iraqi governments not by two rivalry parties that fight each other every day on our news channels like kurdsat news and rudaw news like two arguing character out of looney tunes also in the end getting nothing but damage to its overall identity as a rightful region
❤
I'm from slemani too but if you visit Baghdad you will know how bad iraqi rules actually is PDK and YNK is better than iraqi rules
Honestly this chess game would make good to be examined deeper, sadly real life lore doesnt do that anymore
Your work is truly great

The best way for Iraq forward is to assimilate itself with its neighbouring countries,
Syria faces similar issues, and Kuwait is a strategic territory which can can help Iraq and Syria navigate through their crises.
Basically the Ottoman Empire. But western hegemony would not allow it, as they want the whole pie.
But, i remain optimistic that they'll come crashing down, and Iraq will prosper once again, (and they'll achieve this without invading other countries, and sending the rebels to Guantanamo)
So the Iraq war was worth it for this stupid road?!? And stop saying Iraq wants this like they had a choice
But the main culprit is England.
Nice video !
I wish nothing but good things for Iraq and all my Muslim brothers and sisters.
Those sound effects in the background when discussing infrastructure such as the dams are great
If you beleive this then you don't know iraq
Why ?
(As Iraqi i know but for sake of curiosity what do you think)
You obviously don't know Iraq then. I do, I used to live and work there.

@@SirstaryaIraq Has No Government. The Clans Kept Iraq Independent Even When It Was Invaded By 30 Countries...
I wish the best for my homeland , I hope we can have some peace and prosperity for once
The main cause of WW1 was because Germany wanted to build a railway to Baghdad.
not really there are many cause to ww1 such as the Balkan powder keg, French wanting revenge for Franco - Prussian war, the British feel threatened by the German rise
but still the main cause is extreme nationalist movement
