Reports of US artillery shells striking a railway bridge in Iran’s Golestan province mark the latest escalation in a military campaign that has targeted Iranian infrastructure across multiple provinces.
The strikes are part of a broader pattern of US-Israeli military operations that intensified around April 7, with attacks hitting critical transport infrastructure designed to disrupt Iranian logistics. The Yahyaabad railway bridge near Kashan sustained significant damage, and strikes were reported across Isfahan, Qom, Karaj, and the Tabriz-Zanjan corridor. Two deaths and three injuries followed one of the incidents.
What’s actually happening on the ground
Israeli officials have framed these operations as targeted efforts to impede Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps missile launcher movements.
The Golestan province strike adds a new geographic dimension. Previous reporting concentrated on central Iranian provinces. Golestan sits in the country’s northeast, bordering Turkmenistan. If confirmed, strikes reaching that far north suggest a broader campaign than initially understood.
