US strikes destroy Iranian bridge

The B1 bridge, one of the highest in Iran, was split in two during the nighttime barrage, which also wounded nearly 100 people.

International law experts have expressed serious concern that the targeting of civilian infrastructure may constitute a war crime.

Iran has condemned the attack as a sign of 'moral collapse' and has retaliated by targeting refineries and desalination plants in neighboring Gulf states.

The destruction of the bridge marks a significant escalation in the air campaign against the Islamic Republic.
