Israel has warned Iranian citizens to avoid train travel, citing safety risks amid rising regional tensions. The advisory comes as the country also confirmed an attack on a third petrochemical facility.
According to reports, Israel issued the warning while tensions with Iran continue to escalate. The move follows heightened military and political developments between the two sides.
Former U.S. President Donald Trump had earlier issued a threat, stating that Iranian infrastructure could face “complete demolition,” adding that the United States could neutralize Iran “in one night.” He also set a deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 20:00 EDT Tuesday (00:00 GMT Wednesday), although similar deadlines have reportedly shifted in the past.
Human rights monitors have raised concerns about the human toll of the ongoing situation. Reports from HRANA, a human rights monitoring group, indicate that over 3,500 people have died in Iran since the start of the operations, including at least 1,665 civilians. Monday was described as the deadliest day in the past 10 days, with 49 civilian deaths reported.
Meanwhile, Iran has rejected a ceasefire proposal from the United States, presenting its own set of conditions through state media.
As of now, tensions remain high, with no confirmed breakthrough in diplomatic negotiations and both sides maintaining firm positions.
