Iran’s tallest bridge – and highest in Middle East – is blown to pieces in U.S.-Israeli airstrikes ‘killing 8 and injuring at least 95’ | 2 April 2026 | The U.S.-Israeli strikes which destroyed Iran’s tallest bridge have killed eight people, according to Iran. The B1 bridge, which links Iran’s capital with the western city of Karaj, was targeted in two waves of strikes on Thursday after Donald Trump threatened to bomb Tehran “back to the ‘Stone Age.'” The second attack on the 136-metre structure took place while rescue forces were at the scene helping injured at least 95 people, Iranian state media claimed. The strike caused major damage to the bridge, the tallest in the Middle East, and a gaping hole can be seen in the middle of the structure.
