US EditionU.S. Strike Damages Bridge After Trump Threatens to Take Iran Back to the 'Stone Ages'
Trump said the U.S. military will keep targeting Iranian infrastructure after a bridge strike killed 8 people and wounded 95, officials said.
- On Thursday, U.S. forces struck the B1 highway bridge near Tehran, severing the structure in an attack President Donald Trump celebrated on social media with a video of the destruction.
- The destruction followed President Trump's prime-time warning to bomb Iran 'back to the Stone Ages,' where he explicitly identified bridges as targets, claiming the U.S. military 'hasn't even started destroying what's left in Iran.'
- While U.S. officials stated the bridge was a planned military supply route, Iranian authorities claimed it was under construction and not operational; international law experts signed an open letter saying the strikes may amount to war crimes.
- Iranian officials warned they could retaliate by targeting bridges in Israel, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Jordan, and Iraq, while Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi vowed Tehran would rebuild and declared that striking civilian structures would not compel Iran to surrender.
- This attack marks significant escalation in the conflict that began on February 28, with regional tensions rising as both sides exchange threats and diplomatic efforts face mounting strain.
