Overview
- The United States acknowledged responsibility for a strike on a bridge under construction in Karaj that killed at least eight people and injured about 100, and President Donald Trump threatened more attacks on bridges and power plants.
- Airstrikes hit major petrochemical complexes in Mahshahr and Bandar Imam in Khuzestan, triggering fires, injuring workers, and knocking Fajr Energy turbines offline, which cut electricity to nearby plants.
- Iran shot down two U.S. aircraft, a twin‑seat F‑15 over Kohgiluyeh and Boyer‑Ahmad province and an A‑10 over southern waters, with rescue teams recovering one pilot as the search continued for the missing weapons systems officer.
- Iran kept up missile barrages against Israeli cities during the Passover holiday, with some launches coordinated with Hezbollah and at least one tied to Houthi forces, causing injuries and property damage.
- More than 100 international law experts in the United States warned in an open letter that strikes on civilian infrastructure risk war crimes, as the multiweek U.S.-Israel–Iran conflict broadens across the region and pushes up oil prices.
