Tel Aviv: The Israeli military has issued a fresh warning to Iranian civilians, advising them to avoid trains and railway infrastructure until 9 pm local time due to ongoing strikes.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Tuesday posted the alert in Farsi on social media platform X, cautioning that being present near railway lines or trains could put lives at risk during the ongoing military operations.

“Your presence puts your life at risk,” the IDF said in the message, urging Iranian citizens to stay away from trains and railway areas until further notice.

The warning comes amid continued Israeli strikes targeting key infrastructure linked to Iran’s military and strategic capabilities.

Citizens to form human chains

Meanwhile, an Iranian official has urged citizens to form human chains around the country’s energy facilities in an attempt to deter any potential attack by the United States. The call is reportedly aimed at protecting critical energy installations from possible American military strikes.

The development signals a further escalation in the already volatile situation involving Israel, Iran, and the United States, raising concerns about a wider regional conflict in the Middle East.

Security analysts say the public warning by the Israeli military is unusual and indicates that transportation networks could be affected as strikes continue.

More details are awaited as the situation develops.
