US Destroys Strategic Iran-China-Russia Railway Bridge in Targeted Strike
In a precise military operation, US forces targeted and destroyed a key railway bridge in Iran that serves as a vital trade route connecting Iran with China and Russia. The Iranian news agency Fars confirmed that the US used advanced cruise missiles to strike the bridge, which is part of a major international railway project linking China, Turkmenistan, and Iran, designed to bypass Western sanctions.
This attack was part of a broader US campaign involving strikes on 90 military targets across Iran. US President Donald Trump described the actions as retaliation for attacks on ships and warned that further provocations would escalate the situation. Iranian reports indicate at least 14 fatalities and dozens injured from the airstrikes.
The destruction of the railway bridge represents a significant economic and strategic blow to Iran, directly impacting its coordination with allies Russia and China. In response, Iran's Revolutionary Guards launched missile and drone attacks on Gulf states, prompting an official declaration that the regional ceasefire has collapsed.
