Iran has reopened a rail bridge in Golestan province’s Aqqala County less than 24 hours after it was damaged by a United States strike. Authorities said the bridge’s restoration has allowed train operations to return to normal. The bridge is part of the Gorgan–Incheh Borun railway, which connects northern Iran with Turkmenistan and the wider Central Asian rail network.

According to Iran’s state radio and television news agency, Golestan Governor Ali-Asghar Tahmasbi described the rapid reopening as a practical response to enemy threats and actions. Earlier, Iranian state media reported that the US attack occurred early Wednesday near Aqqala, damaging a section of the railway.

The Gorgan–Incheh Borun line forms a key segment of the China–Turkmenistan–Iran rail corridor, an important route linking Iran to Central Asia. The swift restoration underscores Iran’s effort to maintain regional connectivity despite external attacks.
