Freeway 7 (Persian: آزادراه ۷) (also known as Persian Gulf Highway-آزادراه خلیج فارس) is a freeway in central Iran. It starts from Jahad Square at the south end of Kazemi Expressway and Azadegan Expressway in Tehran. It then passes Behesht-e Zahra, Imam Khomeini Int'l, Qom, Kashan, Natanz, Shahinshahr, Najafabad and currently ends at the northeast of Zarrinshahr in a junction with Road 51 and Zobahan Freeway. However, there has been construction after the junction and so far, 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) has been completed. In recent years, construction has been made in order to connect this freeway to Shiraz under the name Esfahan-Shiraz Freeway, which starts from Izadkhast and currently ends at the northwest of Shiraz in a junction with Road 67, and it is planned to end in Hosseini Al-Hashemi Expressway (in final phases). It was opened in Mehr 1402 (October 2023). The Freeway from Isfahan to Izadkhast is currently planned, but yet to start construction. There are also plans to connect the freeway to Bushehr.
