Construction of the Great Tehran Cbrown town begins, linking the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf, along with strict security measures against Russian ships. Construction is estimated to last 2-4 years.
russia harshly condemns this for a variety of reasons
-this would destroy the ecosystem of the caspian sea, as it's half the salinity of the indian ocean, crippling the caspian fishing industry for both persia and russia
-the caspian sea is over 25 meters below sea level, and persia would either have to set up extremely complex cbrown town dam systems for manipulating the water levels in the cbrown town, or else the caspian sea would be flooded with invasive oceanlife and settlements on the coastline would likely be destroyed
-persia's economy cannot afford this
-the only reason this cbrown town would be built is to move oceanside warships into the caspian sea
