Tehran-Qom-Isfahan High Speed Rail is the first truly high-speed rail project in Iran, currently under construction. The rail line would decrease travel times between Tehran, the capital and largest city of Iran, and Isfahan, the third largest city, and second largest metropolitan region in Iran, passing through Qom, 8th largest city of Iran. It also connects Isfahan and Qom to Imam Khomeini International Airport, the most important international airport of Iran, making international air travel for passengers from Qom and Isfahan much more convenient.
