Several coordinated attacks targeted Iran’s railways and communication infrastructure on April 7, 2026, following a warning from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Iranian state media reported that both the United States and Israel carried out the strikes across multiple regions. The IDF had earlier advised Iranian citizens to avoid train travel for 12 hours and stay away from rail lines.

According to Iran’s semi-official Mehr News Agency, two people were killed in an attack on a railway bridge in Kashan. The Iranian Red Crescent Society confirmed an airstrike on a railway in Karaj, releasing footage of a rescue operation. State broadcaster IRIB reported projectile attacks on several road bridges in Qom province and damage to parts of the Tabriz–Tehran highway. Additional strikes were reported in Ahvaz and other provinces, leading to road closures between Tabriz and Zanjan as well as on the Kareh Chaman–Mianeh route.

Iranian media stated that the attacks targeted not only transport networks but also residential and commercial areas, indicating a broader impact on civilian infrastructure.
