Israeli air operations target transport routes used by Iran’s military ahead of U.S. warning of broader strikes.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu authorized airstrikes on Iranian infrastructure Tuesday, with warplanes targeting bridges and railway systems as tensions escalated ahead of a deadline set by President Donald Trump regarding maritime access through the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Netanyahu’s office, the strikes were coordinated with Defense Minister Israel Katz and focused on transportation routes used by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to move materials tied to weapons production. Officials stated the operations were aimed at government-linked assets rather than civilian populations.
“This is no longer the same Iran, nor is it the same Israel,” Netanyahu said. “We are changing the balance of power from one end to the other.”
The Israeli action comes as Trump has warned that the United States could carry out its own strikes on key Iranian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges, if Tehran does not restore full passage through the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday evening.
The escalation has drawn attention from international observers and legal experts, with concerns raised about the potential for attacks on infrastructure to impact civilian systems. Critics have cautioned that such actions could risk violating international laws governing armed conflict, particularly if essential services are affected.
The situation marks a further intensification of hostilities in the region, as both military activity and political rhetoric continue to increase in the hours leading up to the U.S. deadline.
