Iran's ex-minister condemns Israeli strikes on rail infrastructure as war escalates

Abbas Akhoundi, Iran's former minister for roads and urban development, gave an Al Jazeera interview criticizing Israeli attacks on Iran's railway and transport infrastructure, using inflammatory rhetoric to describe U.S. and Israeli actions. The remarks highlight the ongoing military conflict between Israel and Iran, with civilian infrastructure increasingly becoming a target in the escalating tensions. This reflects a significant widening of the conflict beyond traditional military targets, with potential humanitarian implications for Iranian civilians dependent on rail networks. The low U.S. media coverage suggests American audiences lack awareness of how extensively this conflict is affecting Iran's civilian infrastructure and economy.
