    Baghdad - people  
    On Saturday, the economist and university professor in Basra, Nabil Al-Marsoumi, spoke about the "railway link" project with Iran, and the extent of its impact on the port of Faw.

    Al-Marsoumi wrote in a post, followed by “Nass” (September 2, 2023), as follows: “  
      
    Information about the railway link between Iraq and Iran  
      
    The first phase: extending a railway line between the cities of Khorramshahr and Basra  
      
    Line length: 36 km  
      
    Construction period of the first phase: 18 months  
      
    The second phase: extending a railway line to the regions of Albu Kamal and Deir Ezzor in Syria, and then to the Syrian port of Latakia on the Mediterranean Sea.  
      
    Project cost: The initial cost of the first phase is 148 million dollars, and the total cost after completing the second phase will reach 10 billion dollars. It was agreed that each country bears the cost of constructing this line.  
    The purpose of the project: transporting about 3 million passengers between Iraq and Iran and transporting goods, as there are two corridors of the Silk Roads, one by sea and the other by land, and the sea extends from northern China to Europe and Africa through the Red Sea, and the other road extends from China to the southern ports of Iran that enjoy It has an important geostrategic location, from which goods are shipped. As for the land route, it extends from southern China to Kazakhstan, then Central Asia, then western Iran. Three roads branch out from western Iran, one of which goes to Istanbul, then to Europe, and the other to Azerbaijan.  
      
    As for the third road that concerns Iraq, it connects Iran with Iraq and Syria, and it is the only road that connects to the Silk Road, or through the great port of Faw.  
      
    In 2019, Iran began implementing a project to link the "Imam Khomeini" port, located on the Iranian side of the Gulf waters, with the Syrian port of Latakia, through a railway network passing through Iraqi territory. This project is described as strategic by the Iranians and more important than the rest of the land transport lines.  
      
    Difficulties facing the project: The areas through which the railway (Khorramshahr-Basra) passes are characterized by soft land, in addition to containing mines, which increases the difficulty of implementing the project, and it is likely that the two sides will be satisfied with the 15 land crossings.  
      
    The importance of the project for Iran: facilitating the transportation of passengers to Iraq and maximizing economic gains for Iran in terms of improving trade and relations with its neighbors. The projects could help establish trade corridors across Iranian territory, which would allow Iran to be at the center of merchandise flows in the east, west, north and south.  
      
    The importance of the project for Iraq: facilitating the transportation of Iraqi travelers to Iran, as well as facilitating Iraq's merchandise imports from Iran and obtaining transit fees for the transit of Iranian goods through Iraq.  
      
    Concerns related to the project: There should be a detailed study and economic feasibility studies to ensure that this project does not negatively affect the great port of Faw, the dry canal or the development road,” according to Al-Marsoumi.
