The US military used cruise missiles to strike two railway bridges in northern Iran, a senior American official told Barak Ravid (N12). The official said this is the first time the US has targeted infrastructure in Iran since the ceasefire on April 8. The attack was first reported by Israeli media hours earlier, when a single railway bridge was hit.
The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday (02:37 Jerusalem) that a railway bridge was attacked in northwestern Iran, citing Israeli news outlet Ynet. Now, a senior US official has confirmed to Barak Ravid (N12) that the US military carried out the strike, hitting two railway bridges in northern Iran with cruise missiles. The official stated this is the first US strike on Iranian infrastructure since the April 8 ceasefire, marking a significant escalation after weeks of relative calm in the US-Iran confrontation. The target—railway bridges—suggests an effort to disrupt supply lines in northern Iran, potentially affecting Iranian military logistics. The Zioneer's earlier report noted no details on damage or casualties; the new report does not provide those either. The attack is part of a broader US campaign against Iranian military targets, though the ceasefire had paused infrastructure strikes for three months.
