💥 STRIKE ON KEY IRANIAN INFRASTRUCTURE: U.S.-Israeli airstrikes targeted the B1 Bridge on the Karaj Northern Bypass west of Tehran, damaging a major highway link to northern regions and injuring several people. The strikes were described as part of a broader effort to disrupt supply lines and prevent the movement of missiles and drones.
President Trump: "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"
Wall Street Journal quoting a U.S. official: “The U.S. military carried out two airstrikes on the B1 bridge connecting Tehran and Karaj on Thursday as part of a broader effort to cut supply lines and prevent the deployment of missiles and drones.”
⚠️ TRUMP SIGNALS EXPANDED STRIKES: President Trump said further major strikes could take place within the next two to three weeks and warned that Iran’s power generation infrastructure could be targeted if no agreement is reached. He tied continued military action to U.S. strategic objectives and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
US President Trump: "Iran's new regime president, much less radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors, has just asked the USA for a ceasefire. We will consider when Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear. Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the stone ages".
President Trump on Iran: "We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next 2–3 weeks. We are going to bring them back to the Stone Ages, where they belong".
President Trump on Iran: "If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard, and probably simultaneously".
Trump and Secretary of War: “If they don’t reach a deal, they will be sent back to the ‘Stone Age’ "that’s where they belong.” Trump added.
🇺🇸 U.S. ASSESSES CAMPAIGN PROGRESS: President Trump said U.S. military operations against Iran have achieved rapid and decisive battlefield results over the past four weeks. He described Iran as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism and claimed its naval forces have effectively disappeared, while its air force and air defenses have been destroyed.
He said senior Iranian leadership has been largely eliminated in recent strikes and asserted that Iran’s military, economic, and strategic capabilities have been comprehensively degraded. He added that the campaign is focused on dismantling Iran’s ability to threaten U.S. security, particularly its nuclear program, which he said Tehran attempted to rebuild at a covert site after the prior nuclear deal was terminated.
Trump said U.S. objectives are close to completion, with nuclear sites under constant satellite surveillance and any renewed activity expected to trigger immediate missile strikes. While stating that regime change was not an official objective, he said it has “effectively happened” as a result of the campaign.
On the economic front, Trump blamed rising fuel prices on Iranian attacks on oil tankers and said the U.S. does not rely on the Strait of Hormuz. He called on countries more dependent on the route to take primary responsibility for securing it, with U.S. support as needed.
Following the announcement, global energy markets reacted sharply, with Brent crude rising by about 3.8% to 5% to around $105 per barrel amid concern over expanding conflict and possible disruption to regional oil flows.
