Saudi Minister: There will be a direct railway connection between Tehran, Riyadh, Mecca and Medina

This is the first time I have read this and wondering if the old dream of making a tunnel under the straight of Hormoz (about 8-10km long) and a bridge connecting Bandar Abbas to Hormoz Island? Is a mega billion dollars project, but if it is planned correctly, can create huge benefits for all the countries in the region and cut the carbon footprint of those countries.

Using a dual line high speed train route would create an easy access for countries in Arabian peninsula and west Asia and even Russia and China..

I for one would love to see this project become reality because it will be a bridge/tunnel of peace between the nations and helps tourism and commerce in the countries on both sides of the Oman sea and Persian Gulf.
