shared<\/a> a video of part of the newly built 136-metre-high cable-stayed bridge between Tehran and Karaj collapsing.<\/p>\n\u201cThe biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again,\u201d he wrote on Truth Social, and warned that there would be \u201cmuch more to follow\u201d if Iran doesn\u2019t negotiate.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn\u2019t even started destroying what\u2019s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST!\u201d Trump said in a later post.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The latest attack comes just a day after Trump vowed to hit Iran \u201cextremely hard\u201d over the next two to three weeks. The president also reiterated his threat to destroy Iran\u2019s power plants.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously,\u201d and has since doubled down after the latest strike.<\/p>\n
Trump also added that a new nuclear deal is \u201cnearing completion,\u201d but authorities in Iran have denied that official talks are underway and have vowed to launch a \u201cdevastating\u201d retaliation.<\/p>\n
Equities rise, crypto markets fall<\/h1>\n
Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 rose 1.28%, while South Korea\u2019s Kospi climbed 2.91%, moving alongside the S&P 500, which erased its 1.1% intraday loss to close up 0.11% on reports that senior Iranian diplomat Kazem Gharibabadi was drafting a protocol with Oman to oversee transit in the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin was also recovering from recent lows near $65,000, but the bullish euphoria was short-lived as news of attacks saw the flagship crypto falling from an intraday high of $67,376 to $66,345 within hours after the Truth Social post.<\/p>\n
If no deal is reached between the two nations, the flagship crypto risks falling below the $65,000 mark, which has been acting as a major support level over the past months.<\/p>\n
Losing this level would likely confirm a bearish structural breakdown and could weigh heavily on the broader market.<\/p>\n
