Lorestan Special Economic Zone matters in the Hormuz Graph because it sits in a western inland province positioned between central Iran, Khuzestan, Kermanshah, and Iraq-facing corridors. Its role is not based on coastal trade or heavy petrochemicals, but on industrial land, warehousing, manufacturing services, and regional distribution around Khorramabad. The asset connects Lorestan’s labor base, road freight routes, provincial enterprise demand, and potential supply-chain roles between western border markets and central Iranian consumption and production centers.
