The death toll from a US-Israeli attack on Iran's B1 bridge in Alborz province has risen to 13, with 95 injured, according to state media. The strike on Thursday targeted one of the Middle East's tallest bridges during Nature Day celebrations, a festival marking the end of Nowruz. 🕊️
Victims included municipal workers, families, and villagers near Karaj, the provincial capital. Iran's IRNA news agency reported two missile waves hit the structure, calling it a 'complex engineering landmark.' Local officials confirmed all casualties were civilians.
This comes amid escalating violence since late February 2026, when joint US-Israeli operations killed Iran's former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Tehran responded with drone strikes on regional US and Israeli assets, fueling what analysts call a 'dangerous new chapter' in Middle East conflicts. 💣
Alborz province alone has seen 44 civilian deaths since hostilities began, per local authorities. With no ceasefire in sight, global leaders urge de-escalation as Ramadan tensions simmer. 🌍✌️
