US Strikes Tallest Bridge in Iran After Trump Threatens To Bomb the Country Into the ‘Stone Age’
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said there was ‘much more to follow’A US-Israeli strike hit the B1 bridge in Iran’s Alborz province near the capital Tehran, an attack that came after President Trump threatened to bomb the country into the “Stone Ages.”
The B1 bridge is said to be one of the tallest in the Middle East, and photos show it appeared to be severed in half following the attack. In a post on Truth Social, President Trump shared a video of the explosion on the bridge and threatened that more attacks were coming.
The B1 bridge after the US-Israeli strike
“The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again — Much more to follow!” the president wrote on Truth Social. “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!”
According to Iran’s Fars News Agency, the strike hit an area of the bridge that was under construction, and at least two civilians were killed, with several more wounded. “Striking civilian structures, including unfinished bridges, will not compel Iranians to surrender,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote on X.
“It only conveys the defeat and moral collapse of an enemy in disarray. Every bridge and building will be built back stronger. What will never recover: damage to America’s standing,” Araghchi added.
The attack came the day after Trump delivered an address on the war, where he made the threat to bomb Iran into the “Stone Ages” and said the war would last at least another two to three weeks. “We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We’re going to bring them back to the Stone Ages, where they belong,” he said.
US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth affirmed Trump’s threat, writing on X, “Back to the Stone Age.” Both Trump and Hegseth have reveled in the destruction they’ve caused in Iran, a bombing campaign that has had a devastating impact on civilians.
Trump has continued to threaten to launch mass strikes on Iran’s power plants if a deal to end the war isn’t reached, but there’s no sign real diplomacy is taking place as Iranian officials continue to deny his claim that negotiations are underway.
“If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously. We have not hit their oil, even though that’s the easiest target of all, because it would not give them even a small chance of survival or rebuilding. But we could hit it, and it would be gone,” Trump said on Wednesday night.
Wow! You ordered up a civilian bridge to be blown up. Such a tough guy. Another war crime to be added to Dumpy’s list.
Again, Congress does nothing toward using the 25th amendment to get this maniac out of office before he brings chaos and ruin to about everywhere that will take generations to repair.

A Delusional President
President Trump’s 19 minute speech tonight was an extraordinary collection of blatant lies and fantastic delusions. He repeatedly claimed over and over that Iran was decimated. So why isn’t the war over? Why does it have to continue for another month?
Trump addressed no issue. He did not acknowledge that it is US and Israel’s radar sites that have been decimated along with American bases. He did not acknowledge that Israeli-America has run out of interceptor missiles, and that Poland, a NATO ally, has refused Trump’s pressure to release the US missiles systems in Poland to Israel.
The facts on the ground are that Israel and US bases on the Persian Gulf are defenseless and cannot stop incoming Iranian missiles that strike at will.
Does Trump really think 19 minutes of hot air can hide the tremendous defeat that Trump has suffered from starting a war that his own hand-picked Chairman of the Joint Chiefs advised him against as the US lacked sufficient munitions to continue the war more than a few weeks?
Many hoped that tonight Trump would declare victory and with the war declared won pull out and go home. Apparently, the powerful Israel Lobby was able to prevent Trump from extricating himself from the trap in which he foolishly placed himself.
Tonight Trump presented the world with a delusional American president divorced from reality. Will anyone notice–certainly C-Span’s commentator Matthew Kroenig did not–or do they, like Trump, prefer delusion to reality?
