Iran warned it could target bridges in Israel and across the Middle East in retaliation for a strike on a major bridge near Tehran, which Iranian media described as an “engineering masterpiece.”
Iranian outlets reported that the B1 bridge linking Tehran and Karaj — described as the tallest bridge in the Middle East — was struck, and authorities urged civilians to avoid the area due to the security situation. Reports also said an Alborz innovation and industrial facility was damaged.
After the strike, Trump wrote on Truth Social that “the biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again ” and warned that “much more” would follow, pressing Tehran to reach a deal.
"IT IS TIME FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF WHAT STILL COULD BECOME A GREAT COUNTRY!" he wrote.
In response, Iran said bridges across the region had become “legitimate targets.” Among those mentioned was the Arik Bridge on Route 87 in northern Israel, which connects the Lower Galilee to the Golan Heights.
Iranian statements also referenced potential targets in Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Jordan and Iraq, signaling a possible widening of threats to regional infrastructure.
