US-Iran Tensions Escalate As Mashhad Railway Route Comes Under Attack
Fresh tensions have erupted between the United States and Iran after strikes reportedly damaged a section of the railway line in Iran's Mashhad. Iranian authorities have suspended passenger train services on the affected route and begun repair work. Iran has accused the US of military aggression, with its foreign minister strongly condemning Washington, as the incident coincides with the burial of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, raising fears of a renewed escalation in the conflict.
