At least 13 people were killed and 95 wounded after US-Israeli strikes destroyed the under-construction B1 bridge in Iran's Alborz province. New footage shows the aftermath of the April 2 attack on the massive structure, recognised as the tallest bridge in the Middle East. It was hit by multiple bunker-busting bombs during the traditional "Nature Day" holiday, causing high civilian casualties in the valley below.
Intended as a vital transport link between the capital, Tehran, and the nearby city of Karaj, the bridge's destruction drew fierce condemnation from Iranian officials over the systematic targeting of civilian infrastructure. US President Donald Trump claimed responsibility for the strike, threatening to target the country's power plants next if Tehran refuses to negotiate a deal.
