Tehran: The intense conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel has now entered its 18th day, and its direct impact is increasingly visible on Iran’s domestic transportation system. Amid deteriorating conditions caused by the ongoing war, local train services operating across various Iranian cities—particularly EMU and DMU services—are being significantly curtailed or suspended altogether. This development has fueled speculation over whether Iran is preparing for a major military move or if the prolonged conflict is beginning to severely strain its essential infrastructure.
