In a massive escalation of the Middle East conflict, the joint forces of the US and Israel have decimated Iran’s B-1 bridge—the tallest and largest in Middle Asia. Standing at 136 meters high, the bridge was a vital link between Tehran and the western city of Karaj. Reports from Iran suggest a “double-tap” strike, where a second attack occurred just as rescue teams arrived, leading to several civilian casualties.

US President Donald Trump took to social media to share images of the destruction, issuing a chilling warning: “Iran’s biggest bridge is now dust. It will never be used again. Remember, there is much more to come!” He urged Iran to come to the “negotiating table” before time runs out. Trump further claimed that the US is destined for victory and signaled that Iran’s power plants are next on the target list. With the US President vowing to continue the offensive for the next few weeks, the war clouds over the region have grown significantly darker.
