The Middle East conflict continues to intensify as both military strikes and aggressive rhetoric escalate simultaneously. In a major development, Iran has launched a fresh wave of missile attacks under its ongoing operation, signaling a strong retaliation against the United States and Israel. Tehran has claimed that it targeted the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier using cruise missiles, although independent confirmation of this claim remains unclear. Over the past 24 hours, multiple regions have witnessed heavy strikes. Iran targeted key Israeli cities including Tel Aviv, Haifa, Petah Tikva, and Dimona, while also reportedly striking locations in the UAE. In response, US and Israeli forces carried out extensive airstrikes across Iran, including in Tehran and Karaj. One of the most significant developments has been the destruction of a major strategic bridge connecting Tehran and Karaj. The bridge, considered a critical infrastructure link and a logistical lifeline, was reportedly hit twice, causing it to collapse באמצध्यम. The attack resulted in casualties and widespread disruption, including power outages in surrounding areas. The structure was not only vital for civilian transport but also played a key role in military mobility. Iran has strongly condemned the attack, warning that such strikes on civilian and infrastructure targets will not force surrender but instead strengthen its resolve. In response, Iranian forces have intensified their counterattacks, marking a dangerous new phase in the conflict. With both sides escalating offensives, the situation is becoming increasingly volatile, raising fears of a broader regional crisis.
