New footage reportedly shows damage to railway bridges in Iran, described as the result of overnight strikes. The footage is unverified, and no further details on the extent of damage or casualties are available.
Hours after the US military confirmed it struck two railway bridges in northern Iran with cruise missiles — the first such attack since the April 8 ceasefire — unverified footage emerged on social media Thursday showing damage to what appears to be a railway bridge in the region. The footage, circulating since the early morning hours, has not been independently verified by The Zioneer, and its precise location and timing remain unclear.
The thread of reports began at 02:36 Jerusalem, when Israeli news outlet Ynet reported a single railway bridge had been attacked in northwestern Iran. Shortly after, N12 journalist Barak Ravid, citing a senior US official, reported that the US military had used cruise missiles to strike two railway bridges, marking the first US strike on Iranian infrastructure since the April 8 ceasefire. The official confirmed the strikes targeted two bridges in northern Iran.
The overnight strikes are part of a broader US campaign against Iranian infrastructure. As The Zioneer previously reported, earlier US strikes have hit newly built targets including surveillance and drone storage facilities. The April 8 ceasefire had paused direct US strikes on Iranian territory until this operation.
The authenticity of the footage and the full extent of the damage remain unverified. No casualties have been reported. The Zioneer is working to confirm the footage's origin and accuracy.
