Iraq has begun construction on a Railway line that will connect the country to Iran. The project, called the "Basra-Chalamja connection project," aims to link the major port city of Basra in southern Iraq to Iran's railway network. It is estimated that the project will take between 18 and 24 months to complete. The railway line will allow for the transportation of travelers from Iran and Central Asian countries to Shiite holy cities in Iraq. The project has been under discussion for years and was agreed upon in 2021.
