Syria begins to rebuild freight rail network

2025/12/31 17:25

Syria has reportedly begun rebuilding its freight railway network with neighbours Iraq and Turkey, a government official said.

Domestic plans include rehabilitating suspended railway lines, particularly the Aleppo to Damascus route, Abdul Hadi Al-Shahada, director of media at the Syrian transport ministry, told Shafaq News.

Authorities aim to triple current freight train speeds to 100-120km per hour, he said.

The plan also included restoring rail connections with Iraq, including the Deir Ez-Zor-Al-Bukamal line, Al-Shahada said. 

However, priority is being given to linking Syria’s rail network with Turkey and upgrading the line connecting phosphate mines to the port of Tartus to accommodate higher volumes.

  • Syria to launch new currency on January 1
  • The 3S axis: Syria, Saudi Arabia and the SilkLink revolution
  • Syria’s two oil provinces are central to economic rebirth

Major challenges include shortages of railway materials, specialised equipment, technical staff and funding, the report said.

In October transport minister Yarub Badr told CNBC that Syria needs $5.5 billion to repair and upgrade its railways to international standards, as only 1,052km of the 2,800 km network is currently operational.

This month Baghdad and Damascus resumed discussions about an $8 billion project to restart a defunct pipeline that previously carried crude oil from Iraq to a Syrian port on the Mediterranean Sea.

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership. This kind of collaboration would typically be a monumental endorsement for any private cryptocurrency project, especially given the current regulatory climate. Such a partnership could signify a new era of mainstream adoption and legitimacy for energy tokenization initiatives. OpenVPP initially claimed cooperation with the U.S. government. This alleged partnership was said to be in the domain of energy tokenization. The announcement generated considerable interest and discussion online.

He brought attention to the fact that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce had directly addressed the OpenVPP partnership claim. Her response, delivered within hours, was unequivocal and starkly contradicted OpenVPP’s narrative. How Did Regulatory Authorities Respond to the OpenVPP Partnership Claim? Commissioner Hester Peirce’s statement was a crucial turning point in this unfolding story. She clearly stated that the SEC, as an agency, does not engage in partnerships with private cryptocurrency projects. This response effectively dismantled the credibility of OpenVPP’s initial announcement regarding their supposed government collaboration. Peirce’s swift clarification underscores a fundamental principle of regulatory bodies: maintaining impartiality and avoiding endorsements of private entities. Her statement serves as a vital reminder to the crypto community about the official stance of government agencies concerning private ventures. Moreover, ZachXBT’s analysis…
