EIGHT people have been killed in Iran and 95 others have been injured after a strike blasted a major bridge in half.
Donald Trump said the tallest bridge in Iran had been destroyed on Thursday, hours after threatening to bomb the country “back to the Stone Ages.”
The US President posted footage on social media of smoke rising from the B1 bridge in Karaj, around 20 miles southwest of Tehran.
The 136-metre-high and 1,000-metre-long bridge links two of Iran’s biggest cities.
“The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again – Much more to follow!”, Trump said.
Adding: “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!”
But Iran has responded to the strike with fury, insisting they will continue to fight.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a post on X: “Striking civilian structures, including unfinished bridges, will not compel Iranians to surrender.
“It only conveys the defeat and moral collapse of an enemy in disarray.”
Iranian state television earlier reported two US-Israeli strikes on the bridge.
It said the later attack took place as emergency teams were deployed to the site to help victims of the first strike.
