The Taliban governor’s office in Herat says imports from Iran via the Khaf–Herat railway have increased fivefold compared with last year. The office added that up to 2,000 tons of goods now transported daily along the route.
According to Taliban-run media citing the governor’s office, cargo unloading operations take place each day at Herat’s Rozanak station.
Last week, Afghanistan received its first shipment of diesel through the railway, while a second consignment of oil is expected to arrive later this week.
The Taliban said the expansion of trade through the Khaf–Herat railway underscores Afghanistan’s growing role as a vital commercial link between Asia and Europe.
