President Donald Trump on Thursday posted a video of a massive bridge strike in Iran, using the footage to urge Tehran to "make a deal before it is too late."
The video, shared on Truth Social, shows a towering bridge structure being hit and partially collapsing. Alongside it, Trump wrote, "It is time for Iran to make a deal before it is too late, and there is nothing left of what still could become a great country."
The footage appeared hours after a major bridge under construction in Iran was partially destroyed in an airstrike, The Telegraph reported, quoting Iranian state media.
The B1 bridge in Karaj, a 136-meter-high structure intended to link the region with Tehran, was struck in an operation Iran said was carried out by the United States and Israel. Several people were injured, according to reports.
During his prime-time speech Wednesday, Trump said the conflict was nearing an end but warned the U.S. could strike Iran "extremely hard" if Iran refused to meet his demands.
Iranian officials also said bombs hit the Pasteur Institute of Iran, a century-old medical facility in Tehran. Images released by Iran's Health Ministry showed extensive damage to a building identified as part of the institute.
The escalation comes amid growing international concern over disruptions to global shipping routes.
The United Kingdom hosted virtual talks on Thursday with about 40 countries aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz. British Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said Iran had "hijacked an international shipping route to hold the global economy hostage."
France, Germany, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, and India took part in the talks, though the United States and several Gulf states were not involved.
