US Strikes Iran's Strategic Aq Tekeh Khan Railway Bridge
The United States reportedly targeted the Aq Tekeh Khan railway bridge in Iran, damaging the Gorgan–Incheh Borun line. Iranian media stated that the strike occurred early Thursday, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attributing the attack to a US cruise missile. No casualties were reported. The bridge is crucial for connecting Iran to Central Asia, Russia, and China, forming part of the North-South Rail Corridor. This corridor enhances trade routes and reduces reliance on maritime paths, particularly amid international sanctions. The attack highlights the strategic importance of the bridge in military logistics and trade, drawing attention to the evolving conflict in the region.
