The Caspian Sea
The Caspian Sea is called the largest endorheic lake on Earth. It is "divided" among several countries. In particular, Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Iran have access to the Caspian.
Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine Vladimir Putin has been shelling Ukrainian lands from the Caspian. Iran also transfers weapons to Russia across the sea for the war in Ukraine.
In 2026, the Caspian Sea became a key route for Russia to supply Iran with commercial goods and components for the war with the US.
