Studying the legal, diplomatic, and Geopolynomic implications of the Arab-Med Corridor for Iran: The necessity of resolving regional and international disputes using multifaceted diplomacy

In today’s world, the emergence of geopolynomic codes allows for stronger integration of the political economy of territorial connectivity networks into the geopolitics of the global system. The Arab-Med Corridor, as one of the newest geopolitical and geoeconomic initiatives in the Middle East and Mediterranean, aims to connect trade and energy flows between Arab and European states. This initiative has both direct and indirect implications for Iran regarding transit routes, energy security, and its regional geopolitical status. Legally, it raises questions about sovereignty, freedom of transit, and compatibility with international conventions. Diplomatically, the increasing convergence of Arab countries with extra-regional powers generates new challenges for Iran in regional balances. Adopting a legal-diplomatic approach, this research suggests that Iran can transform emerging risks into opportunities through “multiple diplomacy,” including regional, economic, legal, and multilateral tracks. Furthermore, strengthening alternative corridors would help preserve Iran’s strategic role in regional transit and energy frameworks. Ultimately, resolving disputes within the framework of international law and through multilateral dialogue is the most effective way to avoid deepening rivalries and enhance Iran’s standing in the evolving Middle East geopolitics.
