- US-Israeli strikes destroyed the tallest bridge in the Middle East near Tehran
- The bridge was under construction to connect Tehran to the western city of Karaj
- Two civilians were injured in the initial strike, which was followed by a second attack
US-Israeli strikes partially destroyed the tallest bridge in the Middle East after President Donald Trump warned of bombing Iran "back to the Stone age". Several people were injured in the strike.
The bridge that was still under construction was supposed to link Iran's capital Tehran to the western city of Karaj. The bridge is 136 metres high and is presented as an engineering masterpiece of the Middle East.
The footage shows heavy smoke rising from the site and the bridge collapsing.

"A few minutes ago, the American-Zionist enemy once again targeted the B1 bridge in Karaj," a city west of Tehran, state TV said, adding that the first strike had caused two civilian casualties.
It said the later attack took place as emergency teams were deployed to the site to help victims of the first strike.
Trump posted the visuals of the attack on Truth Social and said, "The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again - Much more to follow!"
He also warned that Iran should make a deal "before it is too late".
Earlier in the day, Trump claimed victory over the US-Israeli war against Iran, claiming US military action has destroyed Tehran's military prowess and will 'finish the job' very soon, as 'core strategic objectives are nearing completion'.
Addressing the nation about his plans in the Middle East, the commander-in-chief said US forces will hit Iran 'extremely hard' for the next 2-3 weeks and again threatened Iranian power plants.
"Our enemies are losing--and America, as it has been for five years under my presidency, is winning, and now, winning bigger than ever before", he said.
