The Israeli military issued a warning to Iranians in Persian on its official X account, urging civilians to stay away from trains and railway lines until 9 p.m. Iran time.
"Your presence on trains and near railway lines endangers your life," the warning stated.
The advisory highlights concerns over potential strikes on rail infrastructure amid intensifying conflict between Israel and Iran.
It follows threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to target key civilian infrastructure in Iran, including power plants and bridges, in response to demands related to the Strait of Hormuz.
The warning was posted as tensions escalate, with indications of possible expansion to broader transport and public targets.

Reliability assessment
Two outlets (Khaama Press, Amu TV) corroborate the Israeli military issuing a warning in Persian on its official X account, with direct quote provided. This is a verifiable on-record statement from a named official entity.
The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. Khaama Press: "fears grow that attacks may expand" introduces emotional speculation on escalation; "signals a potentially dangerous new phase" uses alarmist framing to heighten perceived threat; "sharp escalation in a conflict already spilling deeper into civilian life" employs hyperbolic language to emphasize civilian impact.
