Verified footage shows damage to railway bridge in northern Iran
By Shayan Sardarizadeh
Videos and images published by Iranian media showing damage to a railway bridge in the northern city of Aqqala have been verified.
Two videos filmed overnight show damage to Agh Tekkeh Khan railway bridge in Iran’s Golestan province, nearly 40km (25 miles) east of the Caspian Sea.
Photos published by Iranian media this morning show a hole and a crater on the bridge, with visible damage to the railway track and debris scattered around.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says the bridge was targeted by a US cruise missile, but there had been no casualties.
Thousands walk alongside Khamenei’s coffin before burial
As strikes are reported in Iran and Jordan, the final funeral procession of the former Iranian Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, has been making its way through the streets of Mashhad in north-eastern Iran.
There have already been six days of funeral events ahead of the burial, including a procession on a 10km (6-mile) route that passed through the capital Tehran’s landmark Enghelab Square on Monday.
Thousands of flags and signs – some showing pictures Khamenei and others calling for US President Donald Trump to be killed – have also been on display.

By Ghoncheh Habibiazad and Sherie Ryder
Two verified videos show damage to the control tower at a major port in the south-eastern Iranian city of Chabahar following overnight US strikes.
Both clips – one filmed during the night and the other this morning – show severe structural damage, including a partially collapsed roof, on the Beheshti Port tower.
A caption attached to the daytime video reads: “For us, it wasn’t just a tower… it was part of Chabahar.”
