In a post on his X account late on Friday, Esmaeil Baghaei wrote, “Destroying great bridges, which stand tall as a proud testament to the ingenuity, dedication and tireless effort of Iranian engineers and workers, does not make the destroyers great.”
“This DAESH/ISIS-style terrorist war crime, along with similar attacks on Iran’s critical infrastructures, reveals one undeniable truth: their ultimate goal is the destruction of Iran-a goal they have pursued relentlessly for nearly five decades through political pressure, smear campaigns, economic sanctions, and the assassination of Iran’s brightest scientists and experts,” he emphasized.
"Yet Iran stands taller, prouder, and greater than ever," Baghaei added.
On Thursday, the US and Israel carried out two strikes on the B1 Bridge in Karaj—one of the country’s tallest bridges and considered a major engineering achievement.
The B1 Bridge -- which connects Tehran to the city of Karaj – was destroyed in a second strike, just hours after an initial attack resulted in the deaths of eight civilians and the injury of 95 others.
