It involves one transhipment from 5'6" gauge container carriers to 4'8.5" gauge container carriers at the gauge break point at Zahedan in Iran, or at Kuhi Taftan in Pakistan (Balochistan) if the Iranians have converted their short piece of broad gauge to standard Gauge upon the completion of the standard gauge link to Zahedan.

And soon they'll be able to transport enriched nuclear material between Iran and North Korea without having to take dangerous sea voyages. That will be so good! :)
They already can. Enriched Uranium does not need railways. Besides, Pakistan has way more enriched Uranium than Iran does and it is under much less scrutiny. North Korea and Pakistan have always had a good "Nuclear" relationship. And China right next door to North Korea has even more 🤪 All of them can already get to North Korea without any sea voyage, and the one from China can even go by train!
