U.S. Strike Destroys Iran's B1 Bridge, Killing Civilians on Nowruz Holiday

On April 2, 2026, the United States destroyed Iran's B1 bridge near Karaj — the country's most complex engineering project — in two waves of strikes about an hour apart that killed 8 people and wounded 95, most of them villagers celebrating Sizdah Bedar (Nature Day) below the bridge, according to the provincial governor. President Trump celebrated the destruction on social media. Iran says the bridge, which reports describe as unfinished or newly opened, had no military use; the US military described it as a planned supply route for Iranian missile and drone forces.
