Trump warns ‘much more to follow’ after Iran’s highest bridge hit
President Trump has vowed further strikes after a US-Israeli attack destroyed Iran’s highest bridge near Karaj. “Much more to follow!” he wrote on Truth Social, urging Tehran to negotiate before it is “too late.” Trump also claimed Iran is “getting decimated” and that ceasefire talks would be “easy.”
US President Donald Trump announced Thursday that additional strikes against Iran are on the way, following an attack that collapsed the country’s tallest bridge. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again. Much more to follow!” He added: “It is time for Iran to make a deal before it is too late, and there is nothing left of what still could become a great country.” Trump has repeatedly urged Iranian leaders to come to the negotiating table, most recently claiming that Tehran’s new leadership had requested a ceasefire—an assertion Iranian officials have denied.
Strike on strategic infrastructure
Local media reported that a US-Israeli strike hit the B1 Bridge in the Azimieh area near the city of Karaj, described as the highest bridge in the Middle East and part of a major infrastructure project nearing completion. Several injuries were reported, and the bridge sustained severe damage. Speaking to Time magazine, Trump said: “Why wouldn’t they call? We just blew up their three big bridges last night,” adding that Iran was “getting decimated.” He dismissed Iranian officials’ suggestions that he is not genuinely negotiating, calling the potential talks “sort of an easy negotiation.”
Wider conflict and Türkiye’s concerns
The bridge strike is the latest escalation in the US-Israeli air offensive that began on February 28, which has killed more than 1,340 people, including former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes on Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf states hosting US forces, causing casualties and infrastructure damage while disrupting global markets and aviation. For Türkiye, which shares a border with Iran and has deep economic and energy ties to the region, the destruction of critical infrastructure and the threat of further strikes raise serious concerns about spillover effects, refugee flows, and regional instability. Ankara continues to call for an immediate ceasefire and a return to diplomacy.
