More on the bombing of the B1 bridge and the Stone Age. “The U.S. defense official told Axios the bridge was attacked because it was used by the Iranian armed forces to try to secretly move missiles and missile parts from Tehran to launch sites in Western Iran. “The official claimed the missile parts were sent in large boxes and crates across the bridge and assembled at the launch sites. “According to the official, the bridge was also used to send logistical support to Iranian military forces in Tehran. “A second defense official described it as a ‘planned military supply route for sustaining Iran's ballistic missile and attack drone force’ but did not say it was currently being used for those purposes.” The first official may be misinforming Axios since according to Ghodratollah Seif, the deputy governor of Alborz province, and many others, the bridge was not complete or yet being used. The second official is openly advocating attacks on all transport routes as legitimate since they are potential dual use targets. Who knows whether first official knowingly lied or the second official has read the Geneva Convention. Seven dead on a nearby picnic. Above all this is not the route to de-escalation.
