Iran has threatened revenge attacks on major bridges in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan in response to a US strike that destroyed a large bridge in the Azimiyeh area of Karaj city.
Iran's Pars News Agency reported that the planned targets include the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Bridge in Kuwait, the King Fahd Causeway, the Sheikh Zayed Bridge, the Al-Maqta Bridge, the King Hussein Bridge, the Damiya Bridge, the Sheikh Khalifa Bridge and the Abdon Bridge.
The US destroyed the B1 bridge in Karaj, northwest of Tehran, in what Iran views as an act warranting retaliation against infrastructure in the Gulf states. Reports state that the US attacks killed and wounded 102 Iranian personnel.
US President Trump urged Iran to reach an agreement before it is too late, according to the reports.

Reliability assessment
Single source provides direct attribution to named Iranian media (Pars News Agency) with concrete, checkable details (specific bridge names, locations like Karaj/Azimiyeh, casualty numbers) and quotes named public figure (President Trump).
The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. Hurriyat: 'revenge attacks' ('غچ اخیستونکو بردیونو') – frames Iran's threats with emotional language emphasizing vengeance rather than neutral retaliation.
