18 civilians, including 2 young children, killed in U.S.-Israeli strike in Iran's Alborz Province, official says

At least 18 civilians were killed, including two young children, in U.S.-Israeli airstrikes early Tuesday morning in the Iranian province of Alborz, just west of Tehran, according to its Deputy Governor of Ghodratollah Seif.

"Israeli fighter jets, with direct U.S. support, cowardly struck the homes and shelters of our defenseless citizens in Alborz Province. So far, 18 civilians have been confirmed killed, including two young children. 24 others were injured and have been rushed to medical centers for treatment," Seif said, according to state media. "Rescue and security teams are working around the clock in the affected areas."

Alborz province is where the B1 bridge is located. The massive infrastructure project, which is still in the works, was heavily damaged by a U.S. strike last week. President Trump touted the strike and has threatened to blow up all of Iran's bridges if the regime doesn't make a deal to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Tuesday night.
