President Donald Trump has issued a severe warning to Iran following a strike on the B1 Bridge between Tehran and Karaj. Trump shared video of the bombing, stating the U.S. “hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran” and threatening further attacks on civilian infrastructure if no deal is reached.
Iranian officials reported eight fatalities from the bridge strike, which was still under construction. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said, “Striking civilian structures, including unfinished bridges, will not compel Iranians to surrender.”
Trump also commented on the strategic Hormuz Strait, claiming that with more time, the U.S. “can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE.” The United Nations Security Council is expected to vote soon on authorizing defensive measures to secure the vital shipping route.
The ongoing conflict has taken a heavy toll: over 3,000 deaths across the Middle East. In Iran, Israeli and U.S. strikes have reportedly killed over 1,900 people, with additional casualties in Lebanon and Israel. Thirteen U.S. service members have died, with two more from noncombat causes.
The situation remains volatile as both sides weigh their next moves, and international attention focuses on the potential escalation of attacks.
