Iran and Armenia agreed on the joint construction of a 470 kilometer (292-mile) railway, passing through Armenian territory. The project is estimated to take 5 years and cost between 1.2 and 1.8 billion USD.  The venture seeks to connect Armenia's rail network to Iran's Persian Gulf ports. Russia has recently announced its intentions to participate in the railway and has already pledged part of the $100 million required for the first section of the rail line.
