US Military Strikes Railway Bridges in Northern Iran, Crypto Markets React

The US military launched a surprise attack on two railway bridges in northern Iran, targeting infrastructure near Kashan and Qom. The strike, which occurred on April 7, appears to be a coordinated effort with Israeli forces aimed at disrupting logistics tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The targets were selected to sever transport links used for weapon movement. Two people were killed and three injured in Kashan, according to Iranian reports. Iran claims it repaired damage to at least six railway sites within 96 hours, resuming normal train service shortly after.

The attack sent shockwaves through crypto markets, with Bitcoin and major tokens exhibiting risk-off behavior. Prices dipped followed by recoveries associated with the heightened military actions.
