Tehran: The military mismatch between the US and Iran that has been going on for the last five weeks reached a new and frightening turn on Thursday. US and Israeli air forces targeted the B1 underpass near the municipality of Karaj, west of Tehran, and destroyed a large part of it. Eight people died and 95 others were injured in this attack. Hours without the attack, President Donald Trump shared a video of the underpass swoon on social media and directly threatened Iran with increasingly attacks if a deal was not reached.
Was the B1 underpass the main target of the attack?
The target of joint US and Israeli air strikes on April 2, 2026 was the B1 bridge, a structure widely described as 'the most ramified underpass in the world'. This underpass was located on the highway connecting Tehran to Karaj. The 136-meter-high underpass is considered the tallest underpass in the Middle East and served as a vital link on the Northern Karaj Bypass, connecting Tehran to Karaj and facilitating traffic towards the northern provinces. This underpass was currently under construction and its 447-foot (136 m) tall pillars make it the tallest underpass in the Middle East.

The US and Israel attacked the B1 underpass twice on Thursday, well-nigh an hour untied between the two attacks, completely destroying the bridge. The second wade occurred while relief and rescue teams were arriving at the scene to help victims of the first attack.

Did Trump himself take responsibility for the attack?
Trump posted a 10-second video on Truth Social that showed the B1 underpass collapsing tween woebegone smoke. He wrote, "Iran's largest underpass has collapsed, it will never be used again, and there is increasingly to come!" The time has come for Iran to compromise, otherwise it will be too late." Earlier on Wednesday night, in an write to the nation, Trump had threatened to send Iran "back to the Stone Age".
What strategic logic did America requite overdue this attack?
US defense officials say the underpass was used by the Iranian armed forces to supply goods to military units stationed in Tehran. A second defense official described it as a "planned military supply route" to maintain Iran's ballistic missile and wade drone capabilities. However, the official did not sieve whether the route was in zippy use at the time of the attack.
Can this war now take a increasingly terrible form?
Trump said in his write that the US would launch "very tough" attacks on Iran in the next two to three weeks. Netanyahu personal that the US-Israeli strikes had eliminated Iran's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile production capabilities. Meanwhile, US-Iran talks are going on on two variegated fronts. on one hand, Vice President JD Vance is in touch with Tehran through the Pakistani Army Chief, while on the other hand, US Ambassador Steve Witkoff is talking directly to the Iranian Foreign Minister. Aggressive rhetoric continues from both sides and tension remains at its peak in the Gulf region.
