Earlier Thursday, Trump posted a video showing U.S. forces destroying sections of a major bridge running near the Iranian capital city of Tehran.
President Donald Trump threatened to strike and destroy more bridges and electric power plants in Iran.
“Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants!” Trump wrote on Truth Social late Thursday.
He said Iran’s new leadership “knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST!”
Earlier Thursday, Trump posted a video showing U.S. forces destroying sections of a major bridge running near the Iranian capital city of Tehran.
“The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again—Much more to follow!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social alongside footage of sections of the bridge crumbling to the ground.
“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!” Trump added in all caps.
The strike on the bridge came less than a day after Trump delivered a primetime address in which he foreshadowed an intensifying set of U.S. strikes against Iran over the next two to three weeks.
“We’re going to bring them back to the Stone Ages, where they belong,” the president said.
A U.S. military official familiar with the strike identified the target as the B1 Bridge, which connects Tehran to Karaj.
The U.S. official told The Epoch Times that the objective of the strike was to eliminate “a planned military supply route for sustaining Iran’s ballistic missile and attack drone force.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned the strike as an attack on civilian infrastructure.
“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. Every bridge and building will be built back stronger. What will never recover: damage to America’s standing,” Araghchi said in a statement shared on X.
Iranian state media reported strikes on the B1 Bridge resulted in the deaths of at least two civilians, and left several others injured.
