Iran Says U.S., Israeli Airstrikes Destroyed Karaj's B1 Bridge

Iranian officials confirmed that the B1 Bridge in Karaj was destroyed in coordinated airstrikes carried out by U.S. and Israeli military forces on April 2, 2026. The bridge, which spanned the dry Karaj River and was the tallest in the Gulf region, collapsed after a direct hit on its central support structure, killing no civilians but severing a vital transport link. Tehran condemned the attack as a deliberate strike on civilian infrastructure aimed at destabilizing the country.
