Trump destroys major Iranian bridge

Trump destroys major Iranian bridge

The B1 bridge in Karaj, a critical piece of Iranian infrastructure linking the capital to western regions, was split in half by two waves of airstrikes on Thursday.

Iranian state media reports that at least eight people were killed and nearly 100 others injured in the attack on the newly completed suspension bridge.

President Trump hailed the destruction as a necessary step to pressure the regime, vowing that 'much more' will follow if negotiations do not resume.

The strike marks the first time the U.S. has targeted major civilian infrastructure since the conflict began five weeks ago.
