Video: Chinese cargo trains resume operations in Iran after repair of US-damaged bridge

Chinese cargo trains have returned to service in Iran following the swift repair of a key bridge reportedly damaged in recent U.S. strikes.
The video, shared by the Iranian media, shows a freight train carrying shipping containers marked “TRANS SINERGIA” crossing a concrete bridge in a dry, hilly landscape.
Crews reportedly completed the repairs in under 24 hours, allowing operations along the important rail corridor linking Iran and China to resume.
This rail route has gained significance as an alternative to sea routes affected by U.S. sanctions.
Recent strikes on the corridor were reportedly aimed at disrupting these overland supply lines.
The quick turnaround stands in contrast to prolonged infrastructure recovery efforts elsewhere, such as the ongoing issues with the Baltimore bridge collapse.
