Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has ordered the accelerated reconstruction and rebuilding of strategic infrastructure, such as rail networks and international transit corridors, after US attacks on the country, Al Jazeera reports, citing Iran’s Mehr News Agency.

Pezeshkian was briefed on the damage during a visit to the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development.

He highlighted infrastructure links with neighbouring countries as strategic priorities.

“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.
