Overview
The U.S. military struck major bridges inside Iran, and President Donald Trump posted a Truth Social video showing a strike on the B1 bridge connecting Tehran to Karaj.
The B1 bridge near Tehran was destroyed in the strike, and Iranian state media said eight people were killed and nearly 100 were injured.
Iran responded with regional attacks, including strikes that hit Kuwait's Mina al-Ahmadi refinery and damaged a desalination plant, and Abu Dhabi's Hadshan gas operations were suspended after debris fell, officials said.
Over 100 law experts warned that attacks on civilian infrastructure could be war crimes, and the Gulf Cooperation Council urged the U.N. Security Council to act while China, Russia and France objected to a draft resolution.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that the U.S. "hasn't even started destroying what's left in Iran" and said "Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants!"
Analysis
Center-leaning sources frame the story as a dangerous escalation by foregrounding Trump's incendiary social-media vows and pairing them with legal and regional condemnation. Editorial choices — leading with threats, emphasizing legal-expert warnings and GCC responses while providing limited U.S. government context — create a narrative of recklessness and international alarm. Direct quotes remain source content.
