President Trump told reporters during a press conference on Monday that he gave the order to destroy a newly constructed bridge in Iran after the country’s negotiators reneged on a previous deal to end the conflict.
U.S. forces carried out a strike last Thursday targeting the newly constructed B1 Bridge in the Iranian city of Karaj, according to reports.
The bridge, described as one of the largest infrastructure projects in West Asia and slated to open later this year, was destroyed in the attack. Iranian sources said civilians were gathered nearby marking the final day of Nowruz when the strike occurred
Initial reports indicated at least eight people were killed and approximately 100 others were injured. Independent verification of casualty figures and details surrounding the incident has been limited, however.
During his press conference, the president said “we were very close to a deal” when he heard from the U.S. negotiating team, led by Vice President JD Vance, that the Iranians “were breaking it.” He said, Tell them, that’s okay. Don’t worry about it. But tell them to look out their window and watch.”
