Attacks on Iran continue. On Tuesday, local media claimed that the US and Israel targeted the oil terminal on Iran’s Kharg Island. At the same time, two people were killed in the attack on Yahya Abad railway bridge near Kashan city.

Semi-government Mehr News Agency and IRNA News Agency have given this information. It was told that on Tuesday, not only a bridge built on the Tabriz-Zanjan highway in north-west Iran, but also the Yahya Abad railway bridge and Kharg were targeted.

Mehr quoted the deputy governor of Isfahan as saying that two people were killed in the attack. The attack came after the Israeli military warned Iranians not to use trains until 9 pm local time for their “safety”.

At the same time, many blasts have been carried out in Kharg also. About 80-90 percent of Iran’s crude oil is exported from Kharg Island. There are large oil terminals, pipelines, storage and oil filling facilities for ships. About 7 million barrels of oil can be loaded into ships every day.

These attacks are being carried out amid US President Donald Trump’s deadline of opening Hormuz at 8 pm on Tuesday night (5:30 am as per India).

Amidst the continuous attacks, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) issued a stern warning to America. He said that the response will not be limited to the Middle East only, but they can also target the energy infrastructure there.

The guards said in a threatening manner that they had exercised restraint till now, but now it is over. The statement said that Iran can now target such structures of the US and its allies, thereby cutting them off from the oil and gas resources of the region. The IRGC warned that if the US military crossed the limit, the consequences would be bad.
