TL;DR

N12 journalist Barak Ravid reported that the US military used cruise missiles to strike two railway bridges in northern Iran, the first such attack since the ceasefire began. The report follows earlier confirmation from a senior US official.

01 · THE DISPATCH

At 03:21 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported, citing a senior US official, that the US military used cruise missiles to strike two railway bridges in northern Iran — the first such attack since the April 8 ceasefire. The strike marks a significant escalation in the US-Iran confrontation, targeting infrastructure that had been spared during the ceasefire period.

Initial reports emerged at 02:36 Jerusalem, when Israeli news outlet Ynet reported that a railway bridge had been attacked in northwestern Iran, with no details on damage or the perpetrator. Within the same minute, N12 journalist Barak Ravid reported, citing a senior US official, that the US military had struck two bridges with cruise missiles. The Zioneer's earlier bulletin at 02:36 also carried the senior official's confirmation of the strike.

As The Zioneer has previously reported, the US has conducted multiple strikes on Iranian targets since the ceasefire, including a second wave of strikes in southern Iran on June 11 and President Trump's announcement of strikes on missile depots and radar sites on June 28. This latest attack on railway bridges is the first to target infrastructure in Iran since the ceasefire began.

Iranian state media has not commented on the attack, and no information on damage or casualties has been confirmed. The reports remain single-sourced, based on the US official's statement to Ravid.
