Iran quickly repaired and reopened a key railway bridge in Golestan province’s Aqqala County. The bridge was damaged in a US strike but was back in service less than 24 hours later, according to Iranian officials.
The bridge is part of the Gorgan–Incheh Borun railway line. This important route connects Iran with Turkmenistan and wider Central Asian rail networks. It plays a big role in trade and transport between the region and beyond.
Officials called the fast repair a strong response to recent attacks. Iranian crews worked around the clock to fix the damage. Chinese cargo trains have already resumed operations on the line, showing that the route is fully functional again.
This swift action highlights Iran’s ability to recover quickly from infrastructure damage. The railway is part of larger international corridors linking China, Russia, and Central Asia to Iran. Keeping these links open is vital for trade and economic ties.
The event comes amid ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States. While repairs show determination, the situation has raised concerns about the safety of transport routes in the region. Iran continues to focus on protecting and maintaining its important infrastructure.
