Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered the accelerated reconstruction of the country's strategic infrastructure following recent US attacks, with a particular focus on expanding rail networks and international transit corridors.
Pezeshkian issued the directive after receiving a briefing on the extent of the damage during a visit to Iran's Ministry of Roads and Urban Development, according to the Mehr News Agency.
The Iranian president emphasized the importance of strengthening transportation links with neighboring countries, describing them as a strategic priority for the country's economic and geopolitical future.
"The completion and connection of rail networks with neighbours could play an effective role in boosting economic resilience, developing international transit corridors and maximising Iran's geopolitical capacities," Pezeshkian said.
The reconstruction plan aims to restore critical infrastructure while reinforcing Iran's role as a regional transit hub. Officials view expanded rail connectivity as a way to improve trade routes, enhance cross-border transportation, and reduce the economic impact of external pressures.
The announcement comes as Iranian authorities continue to assess the damage caused by the recent US attacks and outline long-term recovery efforts for key infrastructure across the country.
