# Netanyahu says Israel has struck bridges and railways across Iran in a widening campaign

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel has struck bridges and railways across Iran as part of an intensified campaign against the country’s military infrastructure. The evidence says the IDF described the operation as a wide-scale effort to disrupt the regime’s ability to move missile launchers and avoid detection by Israeli and American forces.

According to the packet, strikes hit multiple bridge segments and railways in several areas, including Tehran, Karaj, Tabriz, Kashan and Qom. Netanyahu said the routes were used by the Revolutionary Guards to move raw materials, weapons and operatives. The military also said it had taken steps to reduce civilian harm, including precise munitions and aerial surveillance before the attacks.

The reported operation did not stop there. The IDF later said it struck a site in Shiraz that it described as central to sonar and underwater detection production. The military said that site supported Iran’s navy submarine fleet and that damage to it would affect maritime detection, defense and the ability to maintain submarines and naval electronics.

The same report says Israel also targeted a petrochemical compound in Shiraz, describing it as one of the remaining facilities producing chemical inputs for explosives and ballistic-missile materials. Defense Minister Israel Katz separately said South Pars, a major petrochemical site near Asaluyeh, had been taken out of use. The military also said it had struck the petrochemical complex in Mahshahr, adding to what appears to be a broader focus on industrial and logistical targets.

The pattern in the evidence is clear: Israel is presenting the campaign as a systematic effort to degrade transport, industrial, naval and air-defense capacity. The IDF said more than 130 air-defense systems had been dismantled, although the packet does not clarify the time frame for that total. It also published footage it said showed strikes on Iranian air-defense systems.

The reporting also includes claims from Iranian media about strikes on Tehran and Qom, and an additional claim that Mojtaba Khamenei was in Qom and unable to run the regime. Those assertions are not independently established in the supplied evidence and should be treated cautiously. The stronger, directly attributable facts are the Israeli military’s own description of the attacks and Netanyahu’s public confirmation that bridges and railways were targeted.

Taken together, the packet shows an escalation from isolated strikes to a broader attempt to impair logistics and industrial support systems. The political message is just as important as the military one: the Israeli leadership is publicly linking the strikes to the Revolutionary Guards and casting them as part of a wider confrontation with Iran.
