At least 8 civilians were killed and 95 injured Thursday as US-Israeli missiles struck Iran's B1 Bridge in Alborz province – one of the Middle East's tallest engineering marvels. This marks the second attack on the Karaj infrastructure project this week, escalating a conflict that began earlier this year.
🔥 Flashback: Joint US-Israel operations on February 28 killed Iran's then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and military leaders, triggering retaliatory strikes across the region. Tehran's drone-and-missile responses have since targeted multiple US and Israeli assets.
📌 Why it matters: The B1 Bridge attack signals expanding conflict zones beyond political centers to critical infrastructure. With global oil prices already volatile, analysts warn of potential supply chain disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz.
🌐 Global impact: Young travelers are advised to reconsider Middle East itineraries, while investors watch energy markets closely. University forums buzz with debates about modern warfare ethics as students track real-time geopolitical shifts.
