The IDF issues an unusual “urgent warning” to Iranians not to travel by train across Iran until this evening.
“Dear citizens, for your safety, we request that from this moment until 21:00 Iran time, you refrain from using and traveling by train across Iran,” says the IDF’s Persian-language spokesman, Lt. Col. (res.) Kamal Penhasi in a statement.
“Your presence on trains and near railway lines puts your lives at risk,” he adds.
Yesterday, Defense Minister Israel Katz said the IDF had been instructed to “continue striking with full force the national infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime.”
