The US military struck a railway bridge in north-eastern Iran overnight, Iranian state media reported early on Thursday.
Several projectiles hit the bridge in Golestan province, state broadcaster IRIB said on social media platform X. Press TV, a broadcaster aligned with Iran's leadership, said it was the first attack in the region since a ceasefire took effect in April.
Journalist Barak Ravid, citing a US official in a post on X, said two railway bridges in Iran had been attacked as part of the latest wave of US military strikes.

Glad to see we’re about to bring their economy to a halt.
BTW, another report about this bombing said it was believed components to build drones were being sent over this bridges.
Bomb every bridge that can allow access to the outside world.
Bomb every port.
Cut the land links to Chy-Nah and Rooskie-Land.
Take out all of the electrical switching yards within 200 miles of the coast.
That too !!!
A US sea blockade has intensified the economic pressure on Iran, hampering its trade through the Strait of Hormuz, a key maritime chokepoint that has been effectively closed since the war began on February 28.
In response, Tehran has turned to alternative routes, trucking goods from neighboring Pakistan and Turkey as well as shipping cargo from Russia, an ally, through the Caspian Sea. Iran is also looking at sending oil by rail to China, a key trading partner.
Yes - need to blind them so they can’t see tankers in the gulf - some general on NewsMax tonight said we need to seize their assets (as a sort of insurance) to compensate any ship damaged by them - I like that idea.
Not for long - we’re taking out the railroads
I’ve noticed over the years that RRs have no shortage of bridges.
Good. Now we are getting strategic. Keep it up. Carve up all trade access, then power.
“all...within 200 miles of the coast” would likely be a very, very large number of targets.
I would suspect we have a pretty fair map of the electrical system.
There are likely a very finite number of substations and switchyards that once taken out would lead to a cascading failure of the remainder of the system.
Take Kharge Island using Israeli troops/ marines. We support, they invade
Shared responsibility
Cutting out Russia and China from resupplying the Mullahs will definitely help.
Yes. Every bridge on every railroad amd every highway must be demolished.
Also every port facility on the Caspian and of course the gulf as well.
Every power plant in the country needs to be blown up.
Also -
Deduct the cost of all the missiles and bombs from the Iran money as well as the cost of all the damage they did to neighbor countries, plus reparations. In fact just rake all their money.
It’s time for boots on the ground and Regine Change.
Oh say can you see?
Never shall this great nation cease from elimination of the freedom democracy enemies until unfettered trust justice is way for all who wants it.
Amen amen I say to you.
USA USA!

The reason that is a war crime is because a large percentage of the population would die with a few days. It might be a human catastrophe on a unprecedented scale.
I’ll assume you are stupid or drunk rather than evil, but that is because I have faith in you in a sort of way.
I ran it through my 3rd or 4th favorite AI tool. Here is the likely outcome if your suggestions were followed:
An operation of that scale would likely result in the following outcomes:
Humanitarian Crisis: Over 85 million people would lose access to food, water, medicine, electricity, and sanitation, leading to mass starvation, disease, and large-scale refugee migration into neighboring regions.
Global Economic Shock: Shutting down Iranian oil ports on the Persian Gulf would disrupt the Strait of Hormuz—through which roughly 20% of the world’s petroleum passes—causing a spike in global energy prices and a potential global recession.
Regional and Global Warfare: A massive military response would likely follow, involving direct retaliation against U.S. forces and allies in the region, asymmetry via proxy networks across the Middle East, and severe geopolitical conflict with major trading partners like China and Russia.
Legal Consequences: Systematically destroying an entire nation’s civilian infrastructure violates international humanitarian law under the Geneva Conventions, which prohibit targeting objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population.
Hit em again! Hit em again! Harder, harder!

Trump and allies should set up a program where the Strait must remain open and the cost of ANY AND ALL damages* inflicted upon shipping by Iran will be 100% covered by IRANIAN IMPOUNDED FUNDS. This would stiffen the spines of the shipping insurers and reinsurers. And IRANIANS UNDERSTAND MONEY, do not want to lose it and will punish (i.e., kill) those who cause the loss. And the ones causing the loss are the IRGC.
I’m posting this in every thread where the absence of such MONETARY DAMAGES ASSESSMENT is partially responsible for the situation.
And, yes, we could both bomb Iran (and/or take other actions) and do this at the same time.
* “ALL damages” INCLUDES the cost of cargo, the cost to repair/replace the ship, the “opportunity cost” (revenues/profits the ship could have made during the time the ship is out of action), losses suffered by the crew members (and.or their families) who are injured or killed.
