Iranian Minister of Roads and Urban Development Farzaneh Sadegh says the country has been undergoing reconstruction efforts following the destruction from the US-Israeli war on Iran, AL Jazeera reports.

She said more than 50 points of road and rail routes – including highways, tunnels and bridges – were targeted during the military operation.

“We are facing a war of corridors, and under such conditions, plans were made to ensure that the import and export process would not stop. Additionally, collaborations were held with some neighbouring countries to expand the transport fleet,” said Sadegh.
