Iran blames US for bridge bombing
- The B1, one of Iran’s largest bridges, was destroyed near Tehran.
- Donald Trump praised the attack on Truth Social.
- Iran condemned the attack as a war crime.
A new escalation in the Iran war as the B1 bridge near Tehran was destroyed on Thursday, killing eight civilians as reported by Iranian media. “First the bridges, then the power plants! The new regime’s leaders know what to do and they need to act fast,” reacted Trump on Truth Social.
According to the US military, this bridge was a passage point for Iranian missiles, and the attack was carried out by bombers equipped with gliding bombs.
“We’re no longer in the early phase of war where Americans had to fire Tomahawk cruise missiles costing a lot from 2,000 kilometers away. Now, they’re getting closer,” analyzed former military aviator Xavier Tytelman on LCI.

“This means the Iranian sky is much more permissive,” he continued. “The air defense is destroyed. So Americans and Israelis can do almost anything they want in the area.” Tehran denounced an attack on a civilian infrastructure, which would be a war crime. The Iranian regime has said it will retaliate by targeting similar infrastructure in neighboring countries.
