Trump Claims Responsibility for Destroying Iran's Largest Bridge, Threatens More Strikes on Infrastructure

President Trump posted footage on Truth Social claiming responsibility for destroying Iran's B1 suspension bridge between Tehran and Karaj, calling it the 'biggest bridge in Iran.' The $400 million, 136-meter-high bridge was under construction when struck. Trump threatened further attacks on Iranian bridges and power plants, stating 'more to follow' and urging Iran to 'MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.' He later escalated threats, vowing to 'decimate' every bridge in Iran by a specific deadline. International law experts, including Human Rights Watch and the International Committee of the Red Cross, warned such attacks on civilian infrastructure could constitute war crimes under the Geneva Conventions. The strikes occurred during a five-week conflict Trump initiated with Iran.

"The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again. MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. More to follow!" — Posted on Truth Social alongside footage of the bridge destruction
