Gürtuğ, O.Halilsoy, M.Mangut, M.2026-01-302026-01-3020250003-49160003-4916https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aop.2025.170186https://acikerisim2.beykoz.edu.tr/handle/123456789/313In a recent paper by Yunusov et al. (2025) it is claimed that the charged Zipoy–Voorhees (ZV) metric found in a paper by Gurtug et al. (2022) does not satisfy the Einstein–Maxwell (EM) equations. It is our aim in this comment to show that this claim is invalid. Nevertheless, their stringy EM extension of the ZV metric remains valid. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle10.1016/j.aop.2025.1701862-s2.0-105013390128
