The President of the United States, Donald Trump, assured this Thursday that a significant bridge in Iran was destroyed following a military attack, while also issuing a new direct warning to the Tehran regime to negotiate "before it is too late."
Through his social network Truth Social, the President shared a video showing the collapse of infrastructure, allegedly located near Tehran. In his message, Trump stated that this is the "largest bridge in Iran" and warned that there would be "much more to come," amidst the growing military escalation in the region.
According to international reports, the attack was carried out by U.S. forces against a strategic route connecting Tehran with Karaj, aiming to disrupt Iranian military supply lines.
The Iranian news agency Fars confirmed that the B1 bridge in Karaj, which connects Tehran to the city of Karaj located 40 kilometers west of the capital, was struck by airstrikes.
It is a structure 136 meters tall, still under construction, described by Iranian media as one of the highest bridges in the Middle East.
According to reports, the facility was struck for the first time, resulting in the death of two people, and a second time when emergency teams were already on-site tending to the victims.
The attack is part of the Operation Epic Fury, the joint military offensive by the United States and Israel against Iran that began on February 28, 2026, which has targeted over 5,000 Iranian sites, including nuclear facilities in Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow.
According to the Pentagon, the campaign has degraded or destroyed 90% of Iran's missile capability and 95% of its drones, in addition to neutralizing its navy and air force.
Trump's post comes one day after his televised address from the White House, in which he announced that the war could extend "two or three weeks more" and threatened to strike Iran "very hard" until it is "pushed back to the Stone Age."
In that same speech, the leader stated that the new Iranian leadership—headed by Mojtaba Jamenei, son of the late Supreme Leader Ali Jamenei—is "less radical and much more reasonable," and that Iran has conceded on "the majority of the demands" of a 15-point plan that requires dismantling its nuclear program.
Iran responded to the bridge attack with a drone strike against U.S. fighter jets at the Al Azraq airbase in Jordan, while its mission at the UN described Trump's threats as indicative of an intention to commit war crimes.
