The Israeli military has told people in Iran not to use trains or go near railway lines, indicating it intends to strike the civilian infrastructure before United States President Donald Trump’s deadline to open the Strait of Hormuz expires.
“For the sake of your security, we kindly request that from this moment until 21:00 Iran time [17:30 GMT], you refrain from using and travelling by train throughout Iran,” the military posted on X.
“Your presence on trains and near railway lines endangers your life,” it added on its Persian-language account.
Threatening civilian infrastructure is not acceptable behavior for any legitimate state. Every day Israel is proving it has no right to exist as a state, and every reason not to.
