U.S.-Israeli strikes hit the B1 highway bridge between Tehran and Karaj, billed as the Middle East's tallest and still under construction, and struck it again while rescuers were at the scene, Fars reported; Alborz officials first put the toll at 8 dead and 95 wounded, many of them gathered for Nature Day, and Al Jazeera later reported at least 13 killed. Trump posted video of "the biggest bridge in Iran" collapsing, writing "Much more to follow" and urging Iran to make a deal.
Why it matters
U.S. officials said the bridge was used to move drone materials, while Iran called the double-tap strike a war crime; Trump soon threatened to destroy every bridge in Iran.
