Following a US‑Israeli airstrike that partially destroyed the B1 bridge near Tehran—one of the Middle East’s tallest and strategically vital under-construction bridges—Iran has released a list of eight major bridges across Gulf states and Jordan as potential targets for retaliation. The strike reportedly killed at least eight civilians and wounded dozens, marking a sharp escalation in tensions. Iranian officials cited the attack as justification for targeting key infrastructure in Kuwait, the UAE, Saudi Arabia–Bahrain, and Jordan, signaling Tehran’s readiness to expand the conflict regionally if further strikes occur.
