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.”

‘Only conveys defeat’: Iran reacts to airstrikes

Soon after Trump claimed responsibility for the attack, Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi took to X to assert that such attacks won’t compel the country to surrender. “Striking civilian structures, including unfinished bridges, will not compel Iranians to surrender,” he wrote.

He added: “It only conveys the defeat and moral collapse of an enemy in disarray.” He also said that the civilian infrastructure that’s being destroyed in the war with the US and Israel “will be built back stronger.”

It only conveys the defeat and moral collapse of an enemy in disarray. Every bridge and building will be built back stronger. What will never recover: damage to America's standing. pic.twitter.com/872zuE36qD
