Overview
- Netanyahu, in a Tuesday address, said Israel hit rail lines and bridges across Iran and the day before destroyed transport aircraft and dozens of helicopters at an Iranian air base to disrupt the Revolutionary Guard’s supply routes.
- The IDF warned Iranians in Farsi not to use trains, saying travel near railways was unsafe, and later said eight bridge segments used by Iranian forces were struck in areas including Tehran, Karaj, Tabriz, Kashan and Qom.
- Iranian officials reported damaged bridges, rail tracks and a highway, with two people killed and three injured in Kashan, power outages in parts of Karaj and Fardis, and all trains to and from Mashhad canceled.
- Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it is sustaining retaliatory waves under Operation True Promise and claimed multiple interceptions of incoming missiles and drones, including over Qazvin and near Tehran.
- Israeli leaders highlighted close coordination with the United States as President Trump threatened strikes on power plants and bridges if Iran does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz, raising the risk of broader regional escalation.
