— 🇮🇷 Btw, the Iranian capital has not been relocated and will not be relocated, I don’t know why people are reporting as if this happened. Tehran remains the capital.

Pezeshkian’s government spokeswoman said that they are examining plans to move the capital more towards the Persian Gulf coast so that transporting raw materials to / from the capital would be less resource-demanding, but there is absolutely no basis for this and it will never happen.

It costs too much money, and it is not logistically feasible either. It would take massive amounts of resources and decades to complete. For a country like Iran, already under sanctions & with a weak economy, this is simply impossible.

Former President Rouhani proposed it, Ahmadinejad also thought about it, but it is a dumb idea and neither the parliament nor the Supreme Leader will accept it. It won’t even pass the examination stage.

You need to understand that in Iran, especially during the Pezeshkian government, spokespersons may say some random stuff that in reality has 0% chance of actually happening.

The government spokeswoman, Fatemeh Mohajerani, even mentions this herself: ‘This issue is in an exploratory phase, we will first see if it is feasible. It is not urgent.’
