US-Israeli strikes hit Iranian railway infrastructure in Karaj region

US and Israeli forces conducted coordinated strikes targeting railway bridges and tracks in Karaj, Iran on April 7, 2026, with Iranian Red Crescent Society workers responding to rescue injured civilians from the damaged infrastructure. The strikes represent an escalation in military operations against Iranian civilian transportation networks, marking a significant expansion of the conflict beyond purely military or nuclear facilities. This development signals a widening scope of the US-Israeli military campaign and raises concerns about potential further targeting of Iran's critical infrastructure. The strikes occur amid ongoing regional tensions and could trigger Iranian retaliation or further destabilization of Middle Eastern security.
