Israeli security forces and first responders inspect the site of an Iranian strike that hit a residential neighbourhood in Petah Tikva on April 2, 2026.

The President of the United States, Donald Trump has threatened that the US “hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran”, adding that Iranian bridges are “next, then electric power plants”.

This threat comes after a US strike on a bridge connecting the city of Karaj to Iran’s capital Tehran killed eight people and injured nearly 100, according to local officials – Iranians speak to BBC Persian about the attack.

This is in response to Iran’s launch of fresh strikes on Israel and Gulf nations, after the US and Israel stepped up their attacks on Iran’s infrastructure

Recall that the Kuwait’s Mina al-Ahmadi oil refinery was on fire after a drone attack, with no injuries reported, according to the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says America’s image will “never recover” following the strike on the bridge

Meanwhile a United Nations Security Council vote on a resolution that would authorise member states to use “all defensive measures” to secure the Strait of Hormuz appears to be postponed.
