Israel warns Iran citizens to avoid trains: IDF issues urgent railway safety advisory amid rising tensions
PTC Web Desk: The Israel Defense Forces has issued a serious warning for people in Iran, asking them to stay away from trains and railway tracks for a specific period due to safety concerns. The advisory was shared on Tuesday through the military’s Persian-language account on the social media platform X. In the message, civilians were requested not to use trains or be near railway lines until 9 pm Iran time (around 11:00 pm IST).
The statement clearly warned that being on trains or close to railway tracks could put lives at risk. Along with the message, the Israeli military also shared a graphic in Persian, calling it an “urgent warning” and repeating the same instructions for people across the country.
This alert comes at a time when tensions between Israel and Iran are high. The situation has been tense since late February, after a series of attacks, and both sides have continued to exchange threats and military actions. The United States is also involved in the ongoing conflict alongside Israel.
However, the advisory did not mention any specific cities or railway routes, which has created confusion about where the risk is highest. So far, there has been no official reaction from Iranian authorities regarding this warning.
Even without detailed information, the strong language used in the message shows that the situation is serious. The warning directly targets civilians and public transport.
