President Trump celebrated the destruction of the B1 bridge near Tehran in a social media post, warning "much more to follow." The attack killed eight people and wounded 95, according to Iranian sources. U.S. military officials claimed they struck to eliminate what they called a military supply route, though Iranian media disputed this assertion.

The strike occurred during Nowruz celebrations when Iranians traditionally spend time outdoors. Trump has threatened to destroy Iranian infrastructure unless leaders agree to peace and end the Strait of Hormuz blockade, through which 20% of global oil shipments pass. Energy markets reacted nervously to the escalating tensions.

The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran now enters its fifth week with no sign of de-escalation despite diplomatic overtures. Legal experts debate whether targeting civilian infrastructure constitutes legitimate military objectives. The conflict threatens regional stability and energy markets, with investors monitoring for broader economic consequences.
