TEHRAN — Armenia has assured Iran that the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), which will pass through Armenia’s Syunik Province, will not alter regional borders or the geopolitical landscape, according to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei.

“We have repeatedly reiterated our position. We welcome the reopening of transportation routes and have emphasized that such projects must not lead to changes in the region’s geopolitics,” Baghaei stated.

He expressed concern about U.S. involvement in the region, arguing that Washington’s presence and influence have historically been accompanied by instability and insecurity.

“We have conveyed our concerns to Armenia, and we have been assured that this project will not result in any border changes,” he added.

According to Baghaei, Armenian companies will carry out the road construction, and no U.S. military forces will be stationed along the route.

The spokesperson emphasized that Iran maintains strong relations with Armenia but continues to closely monitor developments and will publicly express its position whenever necessary.
