Iran’s presidential administration has proposed relocating the capital from Tehran to the Makran region due to environmental and safety concerns. Government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani confirmed that the new capital would be in the south, specifically Makran, though it remains in the conceptual phase with no timeline set. Makran, situated along the Gulf of Oman, offers geographical and economic advantages, including access to Chabahar Port. However, challenges such as security threats, economic viability, and funding requirements pose significant obstacles to the proposal, which has sparked mixed reactions among the public and officials.
