The Israeli Air Force has bombed around 10 “key” rail sections and bridges in Iran, as part of efforts to prevent the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from moving weapon systems, security officials tell The Times of Israel.
Ahead of the strikes, the IDF warned Iranians to stay away from trains until this evening.
Security officials say the IRGC had used the rail and highway bridges to move weapons and other military supplies.
Israel has also warned it would strike Iranian “national infrastructure” to cause economic damage to the regime.
Ahead of deadline, Trump warns ‘a whole civilization will die tonight’ if Iran doesn’t open Hormuz
Twelve hours before his 8 p.m. Eastern Time ultimatum is set to expire, US President Donald Trump says “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” if Iran doesn’t agree to his demands for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
“I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will,” he writes on Truth Social. “However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?”
Trump says that “we will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”
In an expletive-laden post on Sunday, Trump warned that the US would attack power plants and bridges in Iran starting Tuesday evening if the Islamic Republic failed to reopen the strait.

IRGC threatens to deprive the US and its allies of oil ‘for years’ if US crosses ‘red lines’
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warns it will deprive the United States and its allies of oil and gas if Washington crosses Tehran’s “red lines,” a statement carried on state television says.
“The Revolutionary Guards once again declare that if the American terrorist army crosses the red lines, our response will go beyond the region,” the statement says.
It says the paramilitary Guards will target infrastructure “to deprive the United States and its allies of oil and gas in the region for years.”
“America’s regional partners should also know that until today, we have exercised great restraint for the sake of good neighborliness and have had some reservations in choosing targets for retaliation, but all these reservations have since been removed,” it says.
Several explosions are reported on Iran’s Kharg Island, Iran’s semi-official Mehr news agency reports.
Kharg Island, located off Iran’s western coast, is a vital oil export terminal for the country.
US President Donald Trump has recently threatened to destroy the island if a deal to end the war is not reached soon and the Strait of Hormuz does not “immediately” reopen.
