Iran bridge attack toll rises

Iran bridge attack toll rises

The attack targeted one of Iran's most critical transportation links, causing extensive damage and disrupting regional supply chains.

Iranian officials claim the strike was a deliberate act of aggression against non-military targets, while the US military maintains it was a necessary operation to degrade logistics.

This escalation has prompted retaliatory threats from the Revolutionary Guard, who have since targeted infrastructure in neighboring Gulf states.

The rising civilian casualties are increasing international pressure for a ceasefire, which Iran has so far rejected.
