‘Puts Your Life In Danger’: Israel Issues Chilling Farsi Warning To Iranians To Avoid Train Travel

As the Israel-Iran war entered its fifth week, Israel issued a fresh warning to civilians inside Iran, advising them not to travel by train and hinting that railway infrastructure could become the next target in the rapidly intensifying conflict. The alert, posted in Farsi by the Israeli military, came alongside a new round of Israeli strikes and fresh Iranian missile launches across the region.

Israel Issues Farsi Warning Over Train Travel In Iran

In a message directed at the Iranian public, the Israeli military cautioned civilians against using trains or going near railway tracks, suggesting rail routes may be at risk as military operations widen.

"For your safety, we ask you to refrain from using trains or travelling by train throughout the country from now until 9:00 pm Iran time," the military wrote on its Persian-language account.

"Your presence on trains and near railway tracks puts your life in danger."

The warning has raised concerns over whether Israel is preparing to target Iran's railway network as part of a broader escalation. While Tehran has reportedly restricted internet access across the country for weeks, such messages are still believed to reach people through Farsi-language satellite channels operating outside Iran.

Fresh Israeli Strikes Followed By Iranian Missile Response

The warning came as Israel launched another wave of attacks on Iran early Tuesday, continuing a conflict that began after joint Israeli and US strikes on February 28. Iran, in response, fired missiles not only toward Israel but also at Gulf Arab states, deepening fears of a wider regional war.

The latest developments mark another dangerous turn in a conflict that has already disrupted regional stability, energy routes and civilian movement across the Middle East.

Iran Rejects US Ceasefire Offer, Seeks Permanent End To War

Hours before the railway warning, Iran rejected a 45-day ceasefire proposal from the United States, insisting instead on a permanent end to the war. The rejection came as US President Donald Trump's deadline for a deal drew closer, with the White House expanding its threats of further strikes.

Trump warned that if Iran did not meet his deadline, set to expire at 3:30 am Iranian time on Wednesday, the US could launch attacks on critical infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, unless shipping through the Strait of Hormuz fully resumed.

The US President said he is "not at all" concerned about committing possible war crimes as he threatened a sweeping military response.

"The entire country can be taken out in one night," Trump said.

The Strait of Hormuz remains central to the crisis, with roughly one-fifth of the world's oil passing through the narrow waterway during peacetime. Iran has effectively choked off shipping there since the outbreak of the war, adding a major global energy risk to the military confrontation.

Saudi Arabia Hit By Missile Debris, Bahrain Link Temporarily Shut

In a significant regional spillover, Iran launched seven ballistic missiles toward Saudi Arabia early Tuesday. Saudi authorities said the missiles were intercepted, but debris landed near energy infrastructure, raising alarm over the threat to critical facilities.

The Saudi defence ministry said an assessment of the damage was underway.

The defence ministry's spokesman, Major General Turki al-Malki, said the damage was being assessed.

The incident also led Saudi Arabia to temporarily shut the King Fahd Causeway, the 25-kilometre bridge connecting the kingdom to Bahrain. The bridge is Bahrain's only road link to the Arabian Peninsula and carries strategic importance because Bahrain hosts the US Navy's 5th Fleet.

The temporary closure underlined how the conflict is no longer confined to Israel and Iran, with Gulf states increasingly exposed to the fallout of a war that continues to widen in scope and risk.
