Tehran Threatens Israel, Arab Neighbors After Iran’s Largest Bridge Destroyed in Strike
President Trump: “The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again — Much more to follow!”
With Iran refusing to accept President Donald Trump’s terms, the joint U.S.-Israeli operation has shifted its focus to the regime’s logistical and military-industrial infrastructure. On Thursday, Iran’s newest and biggest bridge was hit by multiple airstrikes.
The key bridge, connecting Tehran to the city of Karaj, was the tallest in the Middle East and was showcased by the regime as an engineering masterpiece. “The B1 bridge in Karaj, which was still under construction, was set to form part of a major highway connecting the region with Tehran, the Iranian capital,” The Telegraph (UK) noted. The “Iranian forces used” the bridge “to transport missiles,” the newspaper added, citing U.S. officials.
The Wall Street Journal reported the military relevance of the bridge:
The U.S. military struck the B1 Bridge, which links Tehran to neighboring Karaj, in two separate bombing runs on Thursday, according to a senior U.S. official. The official said the attack was part of a larger U.S. effort to sever military resupply routes to prevent Iran from distributing ballistic missile and drone parts to units throughout the country.

The strike comes hours after President Donald Trump threatened to bomb the regime “back to the Stone Age” if Tehran didn’t accept his terms.
President Trump, on Thursday, shared a video showing parts of the bridge on fire after a strike. “The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again — Much more to follow! IT IS TIME FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF WHAT STILL COULD BECOME A GREAT COUNTRY!” the president posted on Truth Social.

The bridge was hit at least two times. The BBC confirmed “separate air strikes on a bridge under construction in Karaj.”
“The verified video of the first attack shows the B1 bridge at the moment of a huge explosion on it. There is already a smoke plume rising nearby before the fireball, suggesting there may have been multiple strikes,” the broadcaster observed.

Enraged by the strike, Tehran threatened to target bridges in Israel and neighboring Arab countries. Since the war began over a month ago, the regime has been firing drones and missiles at these nations, hitting both population centers and energy infrastructure.
Israel’s Ynetnews reported:
Iran warned it could target bridges in Israel and across the Middle East in retaliation for a strike on a major bridge near Tehran,
(…) Iran said bridges across the region had become “legitimate targets.” Among those mentioned was the Arik Bridge on Route 87 in northern Israel, which connects the Lower Galilee to the Golan Heights.
Iranian statements also referenced potential targets in Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Jordan and Iraq, signaling a possible widening of threats to regional infrastructure.
The IRGC threatens to attack several key bridges in the Middle East in retaliation for the destruction of the B1 bridge linking Tehran to Karaj.

* King Fahd Bridge, Saudi… https://t.co/OCLRRIGCV5— Ariel Oseran أريئل أوسيران (@ariel_oseran) April 2, 2026
Israel targets IRGC’s mobile command posts, eliminates commanders
With U.S-Israeli strikes dismantling Iran’s military command centers nd bases, the Islamic Guard (IRGC) is switching to mobile command posts to coordinate operations. “The military said that the Iranian regime has begun using mobile units as command centers in order to avoid Israeli and American airstrikes,” the Jerusalem Post reported Thursday.
With the enemy changing its tactics, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) was now tracking and destroying these mobile posts. In a recent strike, the IDF eliminated an Iranian commander manning one such mobile post.
The IDF disclosed the details in a statement on Thursday:
Throughout Operation Roaring Lion, the IDF has systematically struck hundreds of command centers and headquarters belonging to the Iranian regime across Iran, rendering them inoperable.
As a result, in recent days, the IDF identified that the Iranian regime had begun relocating its command centers into mobile units, with regime commanders operating from within them.
As part of the wave of strikes, the IDF targeted a mobile command post while regime commanders were inside.
Israeli fighter jets also “struck a base of the Ground Forces of the IRGC, which constitutes a central unit within the regime’s military forces,” the IDF revealed.
The Israeli military also took out a Ballistic Missile Unit commander in western Iran. “In a precise strike in the Kermanshah area, the Israeli Air Force struck and eliminated Makram Atimi, the Commander of a central missile unit in western Iran,” the IDF announced Thursday. “Atimi was responsible for the unit’s operations in the Kermanshah region in western Iran and carried out dozens of ballistic missile launches toward the State of Israel.”
With Iran firing indiscriminately at Israel at the onset of the Passover holidays, the Israeli Air Force targeted the regime’s ballistic missile launchers and stockpile in sweeping strikes. “In the last 24 hours, the Israeli Air Force completed more than 20 strikes in central and western Tehran, striking dozens of launch sites and ballistic missile storage sites with over 140 munitions,” the IDF added.
Israel was also targeting the IRGC’s oil operations, crippling its ability to pay its fighters and finance terrorist proxies. Jamshid Eshaq, chief of the Iranian military’s ‘Oil Headquarters’, was killed in a recent strike, the IDF confirmed.
Ynetnews reported:
The IDF said Thursday it killed a senior Iranian commander in a strike in Tehran earlier this week, while also targeting a separate financial headquarters used to fund Iran’s military and allied groups across the Middle East.
According to the military, Jamshid Eshaqi, commander of the regime’s Oil Headquarters, was killed in a precision airstrike carried out by the Air Force based on intelligence. The unit was described as a central financial arm that channels revenue from oil sales to support Iran’s military operations.

Where have I heard this before?
🤔🤔🤔
Oh, yes. Of course:
ARTHUR: You are indeed brave, Sir knight, but the fight is mine.
BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, had enough, eh?
ARTHUR: Look, you stupid bastard, you’ve got no arms left.
BLACK KNIGHT: Yes I have.
ARTHUR: Look!
BLACK KNIGHT: Just a flesh wound.
In this case, real life is more ridiculous than fiction.
Where’s Baghdad Bob when you need him?
What’s Iran’s plan? Are they going to lob a few missiles at the same targets they’ve been missing?
Their ‘plan’ is the same ‘plan’ its been for decades.
Simply lie about winning and wait for the leftists to demand our surrender.
Then they demand ‘reparations’ and ‘concessions’ just for sitting down at the peace table to negotiate a stupid ‘deal’ they will violate by the end of the day.
It’s worked for decades.
Yep, the next Dim admin will pay them ‘reparations’
Mark my words
Sing It!!
“Tehran Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down,
Tehran Bridge is falling down,
Crazy mullah!”
Both they and Alaska now have bridges to nowhere.
Now now…. Both the bridges to “nowhere” went places. One from the airport on an island to its city (ferry required) and then the other a needed bridge for Anchorage to allow use of a deep water port and not have to travel 40 miles to get to Anchorage from the port. Tides require only a few hours a day for ships to load and unload in Anchorage. Both these were turned down to ding Ted Stevens… the guy falsely convicted… with one of the prosecutors finally offing himself after being exposed. there … fixed it. But Iran does have an official bridge to nowhere. I am uncertain what that will do to the Islamists as they would be happy in a goat herding dusty village.
Oh, the IR still has wheres, what it doesn’t have is a bridge to them.
Death and destruction are the only languages that goose-stepping, genocidal and evil Islamofascists/Muslim terrorists speak and understand.
Kill the people not the infrastructure. Kill the revolutionary guard and any militias and the regime will fall.
When in conflict with this type of enemy, winning for them means simply surviving. Will this situation end any differently?
I wonder if the bridge strike intentionally left the support towers standing. Mid spans can be repaired but towers are expensive and hard to replace.
Similar to Karg island, sparing critical infrastructure but denying military use.
If Iran is smart they will surrender to America’s terms. After we get through leveling Iran can it be made the Palestinian state that all the Arabs want?
The Persians sure as heck don’t want it.
Threats that cannot be backed up successfully.
gloating always puts me off a bit–otherwise, completely approve / agree with trump’s actions so far–personally, have always believed in the ” walk softly but carry a big stick ” approach to dealing with bullies/thugs–keeps your opponent off balance and uncertain of what you will do–realize the important message in all this is that trump will follow through and do what he says regardless of his style of delivery–bullies/thugs know they have to be careful with an opponent that WILL back-up his words with action
uncertain of what you will do
Except that it will be unpleasant.
threatening … after …
So… no difference than before?
Trump is rearming them by creating Yuge piles of baseball sized rocks.
Speaking of newly created rocks, it sounds like China might be down another dam pretty soon.
If Iran could have destroyed these bridges it would have. Idle threats have no substance
