Iran's Chabahar Railway to Neutralize Zangezur Corridor: Official

The secretary of Iran’s Free Zones High Council stated that completing the railway lines from the southeastern port of Chabahar as well as the Jolfa– Cheshmeh Sorayya route could render many perceived threats, including the Zangezur corridor, economically unviable.

“Strengthening and stabilizing the position of the Islamic Republic of Iran, especially its free zones, in transit corridors can generate foreign currency for the country and mitigate the effects of economic sanctions,” Reza Masrour added.

Highlighting that one billion tons of goods are transported from East Asia to Europe, he maintained, “We must be able to transit three to 4% of this volume through our country.” - Iran Daily
