KARAJ, Iran: Iranian engineer Roozbeh Yazdi stood amid the wreckage of the Middle East’s tallest bridge, severed by strikes proudly claimed by US President Donald Trump.
“This bridge was like our child,” he said, fighting back tears.
AFP visited the site on Friday during a press tour organized by Iranian authorities in Karaj, a city west of the capital Tehran.
An official said 12 bombs had been dropped in the previous day’s attack.
The two main pillars are still standing. The word “Iran” in elegant calligraphy still crowns the structure.
