    Baghdad today - Baghdad
    Today, Saturday (September 2, 2023), an Iraqi political movement identified three negative aspects of the railway link between Iraq and Iran.
    The Secretary-General of the Bayariq Al-Khair Movement, Muhammad Al-Khalidi, told "Baghdad Today", that "Iraq's geographical location allows it to turn into a compass in the birth of international routes for international trade that extend from the Gulf to Europe directly through Turkey through the path of development."
    However, Al-Khalidi considered the "sudden" railway link project with Iran harmful to Iraq, especially with the reports of economists who warned of its repercussions on the country's development projects.
    He added, "There are three drawbacks to the railway link, the most prominent of which is that the benefit will not be shared, especially since the project is being implemented with Iranian funding, which gives Tehran a source of control over it."
    He pointed out that "any railway link project with any of the neighboring countries must adopt the concept of economic feasibility and the extent of support for the national economy," expressing his astonishment at the neglect of reports by economists who pointed to negative points in the project.
    Al-Khalidi added, "Iraq is an extension from sea to land, and it can shift from 10-20% of international trade coming from Southeast Asia to Europe through its territory, which means a huge wealth of investments and development, but the step of rail linkage will reduce the financial benefits." . 
    Today, Saturday morning (September 2, 2023), Prime Minister Muhammad Shia'a al-Sudani laid the foundation stone for the railway link project at the Shalamjah port in Basra.
    A statement by the media office stated in a statement received by "Baghdad Today" that "the prime minister laid the foundation stone for the railway link project at the Shalamcheh port in Basra, to transport travelers and visitors to the holy shrines, between the Republic of Iraq and the Islamic Republic of Iran, in the presence of Iranian Vice President Muhammad Mukhber."
    And the Iraqi government had confirmed, earlier today, Saturday, (September 2, 2023), that the railway link project (Basra-Shalamja) between Iraq and Iran will be for the transportation of individuals, while it reviewed its most important benefits, in exchange for the registration of objections by popular and political circles.
    The government spokesman, Basem Al-Awadi, told "Baghdad Today" that "the foundation stone for the project will be laid in the presence of Prime Minister Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani and a senior Iranian official, according to an agreement between the two countries."
    And he indicated, "The project is to transport travelers only and activate the tourism sector between the two countries, and beyond that, its arrival in the countries of Central Asia, especially in the forty-day visit ceremonies, after the citizens of those countries were among the means of transportation."
    Regarding the economic importance, Al-Awadi said, "The railway connection is one of the pillars of the international economy and in Iraq as well, and it is a project open to all neighboring countries such as Saudi Arabia, Syria and Turkey."
    He stressed that "the railways set for the Shalamcheh-Basra line are intended for the transport of travelers, and most importantly, Iraq does not remain isolated."
    Al-Awadi explained, "The project is implemented equally between Iraq and Iran, and each party implements what is related to it to the convergence borders of the project."
    It is noteworthy that the Council of Ministers approved in its session last week regarding the Basra-Shalamja railway project, the following:
    1- The Basra governorate obtains the approval of all concerned departments on the path proposed by it, and it is fixed in the basic design of the governorate, in a way that does not conflict with any future activity or projects.
    2- Obtaining the fundamental approvals to allocate the land belonging to the state, through which the track passes, for the purposes of the Basra-Shalamcheh railway project.
    3- The Basra Governorate removing all encroachments on the new railway track proposed by the Basra Governorate.
    4 - The Ministry of Environment / Department of Mine Affairs to identify the areas contaminated with mines on the new route proposed by the province of Basra.
    5- The Ministry of Transport shall determine the expropriation amounts to be included in the project with the Ministry of Planning.
    It is noteworthy that the project faces opposition political and popular opinions, given that it will eliminate the ports of Iraq, the most prominent of which is the great Faw, because "the railway link harms Iraq, as it will make ships go to the ports of Kuwait and Iran, which will negatively affect the Iraqi economy."
