# Russia resumes grain exports to Iran via Caspian Sea, sources say   | Reuters

> Russian companies have resumed grain exports to Iran via the Caspian Sea after a pause caused by the US-Israeli war on Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Black Sea exports to Iran remain stalled, and falling Caspian water levels are affecting trade. Iran is Russia's third-largest grain buyer.

## Why it matters

Rerouting Russian grain to Iran via the Caspian supports Russian wheat export demand, but stalled Black Sea shipments and water-level constraints limit volumes, leaving the price effect modest.
