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.
Two people were killed and several injured in the strike on the 136-metre-high structure, Iranian state media reported.
Mr Trump posted about the attack on his Truth Social platform, writing: “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 Iranian regime also claimed that bombs struck a century-old medical centre in Tehran. Images published by the health ministry show a largely destroyed building, which it identified as the Pasteur Institute of Iran.
This is something that really upsets me about war. I sometimes feel the destruction of infrastructure as harshly as the loss of human life. I see buidlings destroyed and think about all the people without homes. without shelter. I see a bridge like this and think about all the resources put into building it and how that much more of the earth will have to be pulled to build it again and that is not counting the resources wasted in making and delivering the weapons.
Infrastructure is generally legitimate targets though. Slows down the movement of military assets. Perhaps redirects the enemy to somewhere else you want.
But this wasn’t even finished. There was no strategic reason for this attack. Just looks like bullying to me.
I mean more in a horror of war type of way not a if there is war this is ok vs not ok. We just as a species need to stop wasting everything we have.
Why?
Because America does whatever Israel tells it to do. Donald trump is a pedophile, a rapist and a snuff film maker. America is rotten to its core, but its citizens refuse to rise up and overthrow a bunch of washed up news anchors and reality TV show hosts because they revere celebrities and rapists more than they disagree with murdering innocent human beings.
It’s the American Way.
its citizens refuse to rise up
Americans routinely go through periods of insurrection and revolt. We had Occupy. We had the BLM protests. We had the anti-war movement stretching from early 2003 to 2012. We had anti-genocide protests. We’ve had No Kings marches - massive parades of people in the street shouting and marching. We had the J6 riot at the capital. We’ve had militia movements all through the Midwest and Gulf Coast. We have cartels and mafias that periodically pick fights with local, state, and federal police. Biker riots and Tea Party marches and tax revolts and race riots.
The problem isn’t that Americans won’t rise up. The problem is that we also have an enormous, incredibly well-armed and exhaustively well-trained policing bureaucracy. Over 700,000 professional cops, plus sheriff’s deputies and national guardsmen and private security guards and mercenaries and bounty hunters. We’ve got a hundred billion dollar prison industrial complex. We’ve got a multi-trillion dollar surveillance state. We invest staggering amounts of labor and capital into keeping American citizens repressed.
When Americans rise up, other Americans press down.
Those are not insurrections. The only insurrection in recent history was on Jan 06
EPSTEIN and GREATER ISRAEL PROJECT
Probably to create pressure on the opposition, or to destroy logistic supply.
It makes Trump’s little mushroom penis hard.
Because it was the tallest bridge and it didn’t have a big Trump sign on it. That makes it a National Security threat. /s
So they bombed a construction site? Why wouldn’t they be able to keep using a construction site?
Because this is an extortion scheme, not a military engagement.
