The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday issued a warning to Iranians to avoid traveling by rail until 9 p.m. local time, the military said in a Farsi-language tweet.

“Dear citizens, for your safety, we kindly ask you to refrain from using and traveling by train throughout Iran from now until 21:00,” the post read.

“Your presence on trains and near railway tracks puts your life at risk,” it added.
