Iran war escalates infrastructure strikes

Iran war escalates infrastructure strikes

The destruction of the B1 bridge in Karaj, one of Iran's tallest structures, resulted in at least eight deaths and nearly 100 injuries.

In retaliation, Iran has launched drone and missile attacks against critical energy and water infrastructure in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

The targeting of civilian facilities has drawn sharp condemnation from international law experts and the United Nations, with some labeling the actions potential war crimes.

Despite the heavy bombardment, intelligence reports suggest that Iran retains significant missile capabilities and thousands of operational drones.
