On April 2nd, U.S. and Israeli strikes just wiped out Iran's tallest bridge, the B-1 linking Tehran to the western city of Karaj. They hid it in two ways on Thursday, with the second blast coming right as rescuers were helping folks hurt in the first attack. Iranian reports say two people died, and footage shows massive smoke and a huge hole ripped right through the 136 meter tall. Structure, the biggest in the Middle East. This all ramps up after President Trump warned he'd bomb Iran back to the Stone Age. In a White House speech, he said the military's delivering swift winds after just 32 days of action to stop their nuclear push. Trump stressed it's no endless war like Iraq or Vietnam, just hard hits over the next two to three weeks to end the threat for good. Iranians are furious. Reporting strikes also slammed a 105-year-old medical center, the Pastor Institute, calling it an attack on global health. Their health spokesmen slammed it as a blow to international security, and now their warning

bridges across Israel and the Middle East are fair game. For payback, meanwhile Iran's keeping the pressure on, with Hezbollah firing rockets from Lebanon into central Israel starting Wednesday night during Passover, and going into Thursday morning. Trump claims the U.S. power has turned the bully of the region into no real danger anymore. Iran stays sky high as both sides dig in, but the U.S. says victories close on the horizon.
