Zahedan Rail and Logistics Node matters in the Hormuz Graph because Zahedan sits at the junction of southeast Iran’s rail, road, and border-corridor logic, linking Pakistan-facing movement, inland routes toward Kerman and central Iran, and longer-term Chabahar corridor relevance. Its role connects rail freight, road transfer, warehousing demand, customs-sensitive movement, and provincial distribution in a region where distance and infrastructure depth define commercial feasibility. The asset is especially important for assessing how goods can move between eastern borders, mineral and consumer markets, and Iran’s national logistics network.
