Strikes hit Iran bridges, rail links as Israel warns against trains

Apr 7, 2026, 12:19 GMT+1

Strikes hit bridges and rail-linked infrastructure across Iran on Tuesday after Israel warned civilians to avoid trains and Donald Trump threatened to destroy bridges and power plants if a deal is not reached.

In central Iran, a railway bridge near Kashan was hit, along with another bridge near Qom, while a key road bridge on the Tabriz-Zanjan highway in northwest Iran was also struck.

The attacks followed Israel’s warning to stay away from trains and railway lines, citing risks to civilians.

In and around Tehran, strikes hit multiple districts including Yusefabad, areas near Mehrabad Airport and Tehranpars, while nearby Karaj and surrounding towns were also affected.
