President Donald Trump warned Iran to “make a deal before it’s too late” after a U.S. strike destroyed one of the country’s largest bridges west of Tehran that officials say was used to transport drone and missile components to Iranian firing units targeting allied forces in the region, warning that “much more” would follow as pressure on the regime intensifies.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday they have instructed the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to destroy all bridges over Lebanon’s Litani River and wipe out structures that could be used to shelter Hezbollah fighters in an effort to apply the “Gaza model” to the Iran-backed terrorists of Lebanon.
The Pittsburgh bridge that collapsed early Friday was in poor condition, and the state did not allocate federal infrastructure funds for its improvement, according to a report.
In the halls of Congress, the rumblings for a national infrastructure bill are beginning to grow louder. Republicans and Democrats alike recognize the need to salvage America’s deteriorating roads and bridges and improve upon our dismal public transit system.
