The Israeli military said Tuesday that people in Iran should avoid taking trains until at least 9 p.m. local time (1730 GMT) on Tuesday or going near railway lines.

According to the Times of Israel, the IDF's Persian-language spokesman, Lt. Col. (res.) Kamal Penhasi urged Iranians in a statement to refrain from traveling by train or approaching railway lines across the country.

"Your presence on trains and near railway lines puts your lives at risk," he warned.
