'Arrest this sick terrorist!' Firestorm for Hegseth after reported US 'double tap' in Iran

President Donald Trump's Pentagon chief triggered a deluge of backlash Thursday night after a report that American forces struck a civilian highway bridge near Tehran twice on Thursday as Iranian villagers gathered nearby to celebrate the final day of the Persian new year.

A U.S. military official, speaking anonymously to The New York Times, confirmed American forces struck the B1 bridge twice, in what's colloquially called a "double tap," claiming it was a planned military supply route for Iran's missile and drone forces.
