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.

“His heritage will be defined by whether he wins decisively against Iran or not,” Brig. Gen. (res.) Amir Avivi, of the Israel Defense and Security Forum, told JNS.
“The reports tonight are an earthquake for Israeli democracy,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted to X on Tuesday night.
In response to a question shouted from the press pool, the president said he would not resume strikes on Iran after the election.
“Aiding Hamas would require not just a single collaborator, but an extensive network,” Herzi Halevi said. “Yet, even after three years, not a single such person has been found.”
