Train crash in Iran's Yazd province kills 17
Jun 8, 2022
According to the Yazd Emergency Department, 25 injured passengers were transferred to Thebes Hospital.
This morning, the mashhad-Yazd passenger train was derailed due to a mechanical failure on the Siah Abbasabad-Rizo railroad. Investigation into the incident has begun.
A member of the Civil Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly said their commission wants to carefully investigate the Mashhad-Yazd train crash.
According to ISNA, a deputy passenger of the Railway Company of the Islamic Republic of Iran said, last night at 19:20, the Mashhad-Yazd passenger train started its journey with 348 passengers. At 5:30 in the morning, the train crashed, when five passenger cars of the train collided with a mechanical excavator.
Iran's public transport is in jeopardy because the US-led sanctions have deprived the Islamic republic of obtaining the necessary equipment to replenish its public transport.
Recent Israeli cyberattacks have also targeted Iran's critical infrastructure. Although, Israel has traditionally targeted Iran's nuclear facilities. In April 2021, an Israeli cyber attack shut down Iran's main nuclear facility after an hour-long blackout.
