After hitting a major bridge in Iran, US President Donald Trump turned up the heat with a stark warning—hinting that the country’s power plants could be next in line.
Taking to Truth Social, he boasted about US military strength, saying it hasn’t even begun to unleash its full force on what remains in Iran. He then spelled it out bluntly: bridges first, power plants next—adding that Iran’s leadership knows what needs to be done, and quickly.
“Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST! “ Trump said in a post.
A few hours ago, Trump announced a strike on Iran's B1 bridge, a recently-constructed overpass that connected the city of Karaj to capital Tehran and posted a dramatic video.
The video shows flames, thick smoke, and a section of the structure blown apart. The bridge, still under construction and yet to open, was considered a major infrastructure project.
It spans 1,050 meters with 136 meter-high columns, according to a report on the bridge's completion by Iran's state-run media.
Iranian state media reported that eight people were killed and several others injured in the strike.
Responding sharply, Abbas Araghchi condemned the attack, saying targeting civilian infrastructure—even unfinished projects—would not force Iran to back down. He argued the strike reflected “moral collapse” and warned that the real damage would be to America’s global standing.
In a separate post, Araghchi also took aim at Trump’s remark about pushing Iran back to the “Stone Age,” pointing out that today’s Middle East is deeply tied to global energy markets. He questioned whether Americans truly want to “turn back the clock” given the far-reaching consequences.
