According to RT reports, on Friday, the Israeli Foreign Ministry commented on Iranian plans to move the capital from Tehran.

The Persian account of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted a post on the "X" platform, commenting on the recent remarks made by Iranian President Masood Bezshikian. "It is the Iranian regime that needs to change, not the capital," Bezshkian said in a statement.

During a formal meeting with several governors on Thursday, Bezeskian noted that Tehran is in a deepening crisis and that the city is no longer able to fulfill its functions as a capital and that moving the country¡¯s political center out is no longer an option, but a necessity.

Mr. Bashkian called for acceleration of the process of moving Iran¡¯s capital from Tehran.

He said Tehran¡¯s excessive population concentration and the accumulation of environmental and structural problems in the city made migration an inevitable requirement at the strategic level, rather than a recommendation at the administrative level.

The president said that Tehran, with a population of about 15 million, faces many serious challenges, including housing tensions, rising cost of living, water scarcity, land degradation and severe environmental pollution.

According to Iranian state media reports, the Iranian president added: "In view of the current problems, moving the capital is no longer just a proposal, but a strategic need of the country."

According to sources, Bishkian and his team are considering the possibility of moving the government headquarters to the Gulf port cities in the south or southeast of the country, but the location is not specified. Some sources suggest that the provinces of Sistan, Balochistan and Hormuzgan are most likely to be candidates for the new capital because of their superior geographical location in the Gulf and the space conditions for urban planning.

Due to the huge political and financial costs involved in the relocation of the capital, previous governments have discussed it, but none of them have put it into practice. Today, the Beshkia government seems interested in restarting the project as one of the key links in administrative reform and regional development.

It is worth mentioning that Tehran, the capital of Iran with more than 200 years of history, has seen a dramatic population expansion in recent decades, with increasing problems such as weak infrastructure and decreased quality of life. With traffic congestion increasing, air quality deteriorating and domestic migration to the capital, government and administrative functions are repeatedly called for to be relocated to other cities.
