US strike reportedly hits bridge on China-Iran rail corridor also used by Russia
A US strike reportedly damaged the Aq Taqeh Khan railway bridge in Iran's Golestan province, a key trade link for China and Russia. The route, which passes through Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, has been critical for China-Iran trade and Russia's cargo shipments to Iran since late 2025. Repairs to the bridge are expected to be completed quickly.
