Donald Trump claimed responsibility for the destruction of Iran's largest bridge, the B1 suspension bridge between Tehran and Karaj, following a threat to bomb the country if a deal to end the ongoing war was not reached. The incident, which resulted in two reported deaths, involved the bridge collapsing after being struck twice. Trump posted footage of the destruction online, warning of further actions if a settlement was not achieved. This attack is one of several confirmed strikes in Iran this week, including a major strike on a missile base in Isfahan. These events occur amidst a five-week-long war initiated by the US and Israel on February 28th, with Trump stating the US is nearing completion of its strategic objectives.
