US missile destroys key Iranian rail bridge connecting to China and Russia
According to Iranian news outlets, a US cruise missile hit the vital Aq Taqeh Khan railway bridge in the Golestan province of northern Iran this Thursday. This bridge serves as a crucial connection for the China-Turkmenistan-Iran rail line, which links Iran with its major trading allies, Russia and China. The importance of this transport route for moving cargo has grown significantly this year, especially after the US imposed restrictions on Iranian ports.
