United States President Donald Trump late Thursday claimed responsibility for destroying Iran’s tallest bridge via airstrikes, a 136 metre-high $400m B1 suspension bridge between Tehran and Karaj.

Warning the country of more destruction, Trump posted a video on Truth Social, which he claimed, showed an Iranian bridge dramatically “tumbling down,” and wrote: “There is nothing left of what still could become a great country.”

Eight people were killed and 95 wounded, according to Karaj, Iran’s state media.

Trump also warned Iran to make a deal “before it’s too late.” The strikes come a day after he threatened to bomb the country “back to the stone ages.”
