In a stark advisory issued amid escalating hostilities, the Israel Defense Forces has urged Iranian people to refrain from using trains and railway lines, cautioning that their safety could be at serious risk.
On Tuesday, the warning issued through its Persian-language account on X, called on civilians to avoid rail travel for a specified period.
“For the sake of your security, we kindly request that from this moment until 21:00 Iran time (11 pm IST), you refrain from using and travelling by train throughout Iran,” the IDF said.
It further added, "Your presence on trains and near railway lines endangers your life."
The post accompanies the graphic, released by the Israeli military conveyed the same message in Persian, describing it as an "urgent warning" to train users and passengers across Iran. The visual emphasised refraining use of trains and railway tracks, reinforcing the written advisory.
The warning by Israel comes amid an ongoing conflict involving Israel and the United States against Iran, which started with initial strikes on February 28. Since then, tensions have steadily escalated, with two sides engaging in threats and military actions.
The Israeli advisory does not specify any particular regions or railway routes, creating uncertainty about the exact nature and scope of the risk. Meanhwile, the Iranian authorities have not released an immediate statement to the warning.
However, the tone of the message indicates heightened concern, particularly as it directly targets civilians and the use of public transport across the country.
Earlier today, Iran's Deputy Sports Minister, Alireza Rahimi, has called on the nation’s athletes and artists to form "human chains" around power plants.
This comes following a series of ultimatums from US President Donald Trump. Trump on Monday (local time) said he wants to ‘finish up’ the ongoing Iran war.
“We could leave right now, and it would take them 15 years to rebuild what they have... But I want to finish it up,” said Trump.
“Iran CANNOT have a nuclear weapon. They are lunatics — and you can't put nuclear weapons in the hands of a lunatic,” he further added.
