The death toll from a “brutal American-Zionist attack” in Alborz province has risen to eight, with at least 95 wounded, Al Jazeera reports citing Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency.

The deputy for Security Affairs in the Alborz province confirms that the strike earlier today targeted the B1 bridge in Karaj, a major infrastructure project that was nearing completion.

Officials report that the casualties include residents of Bilghan village, commuters, and families who had gathered in the vicinity to observe Nature Day.
