He added a direct warning to Tehran, saying: “It is time for Iran to make a deal before it is too late, and there is nothing left that can still become a great country!”These statements came after US strikes reportedly hit a major bridge on the highway linking Tehran to Karaj. Iranian media described it as one of the highest bridges in the Middle East.

The structure, identified as the B1 Bridge in Karaj, was still under construction and was part of a major highway project linking the region to the capital.

Iranian state media reported that the 136-meter-high bridge was partially destroyed in the attack.There were reports that several people were injured in the attack, which Tehran said was carried out by the United States and Israel.Iranian authorities also claimed that a historic medical facility in Tehran had been bombed.
