US strikes Iranian infrastructure

The strike on the bridge just 35km from Tehran killed at least eight people and wounded nearly 100 others, according to Iranian officials.

The UN has condemned the attacks on civilian sites as potential war crimes, while Tehran has retaliated by striking oil refineries in Kuwait and the UAE. This shift in strategy targets the logistical backbone of the Iranian regime to force a diplomatic breakthrough.

International law experts have signed an open letter expressing serious concern over the dismantling of civilian protections.
