Iran plans to construct 16,000km of railroads in the next 15 years in line with the Vision 2025 plan, wherein all the country’s provinces will be linked.

The country is in negotiations with China over a $2bn railway project connecting Iran’s western provinces, which will take over two and a half years to construct.
