B1 bridge in Karaj damaged by airstrikes

On April 2, 2026, the B1 bridge located in the Azimiyeh district of Karaj, Iran, was struck by multiple airstrikes. The infrastructure, which connects Tehran and Karaj, stands 136 meters tall and was inaugurated earlier this year with a reported construction value of 400 million dollars. State-affiliated news agencies, including Fars and Press TV, described the bridge as one of the most complex engineering projects in West Asia. Reports indicate that the bridge was hit twice on the same day, with the second strike occurring while rescue teams were responding to the aftermath of the first attack. Social media and various news outlets, including Iran International and OSINT analysts, attributed the strikes to US and Israeli aircraft. While officials confirmed that several people were injured and significant damage was caused to the road deck, the exact casualty figures remain preliminary. Local reports suggest that other areas within Karaj were also targeted during the operation.
