He instructed the relevant authorities to accelerate the reconstruction of damaged infrastructure and to further enhance the country's transport system, making it stronger, safer, and more efficient.
Earlier, the US military said that its naval blockade against Iran "remains in full effect" but did not explain why it halted a streak of 13 nights of escalating strikes.
There were also no weekend reports of attacks by Iran on neighbours, similar to its daily rejoinders to the US attacks.
Asked about the pause, a senior official in President Donald Trump's administration said Trump "has always been clear that his preference is diplomacy, but he has shown Iran what will happen if they fail to come to the table in a serious way."
