Iranian accounts claim construction started last week on the 657-kilometer Herat-Mazar-e-Sharif railway in Afghanistan, built by Iranian firms and funded by local minerals for a seamless connection to China. Proponents see it as a sanctions workaround via the Five Nations Corridor, potentially slashing trade distances by 50% and opening paths for pipelines. No confirmation comes from Iran's Railways, Afghanistan's Ministry of Public Works, or state media, despite recent Tehran talks on June 8 and ongoing feasibility studies. The project follows years of delays, with security and funding hurdles still in play.
