🇮🇷🚂 IRAN CALLS FOR STRONGER REGIONAL TRANSPORT & RAIL COOPERATION AT ECO SUMMIT

Iran's Roads Minister Farzaneh Sadegh has called on Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) members to protect civilian infrastructure, remove border barriers, and build an integrated regional transport network — despite US-Israeli attacks on Iran's infrastructure.

🛡️ Protect civilian infrastructure — referring to damage caused by US and Israeli attacks on Iran's transport networks.

🔗 Ensure corridor security and maintain regional transit flows despite external pressure.

🚛 Facilitate truck movements and reduce customs barriers among ECO member states.

🚆 Expand rail cooperation — the Almaty–Tehran–Istanbul rail link is described as an opportunity to boost regional trade.

🌊 Connect ports, roads, and railways to give landlocked countries access to open waters — with the rail link to Chabahar as a key factor in reducing costs.
