US strike reportedly hits bridge on China-Iran rail corridor also used by Russia Overnight US strikes hit the Aq Taqeh Khan railway bridge in northern Iran's Golestan province, a trade link to Tehran's strategic partners China and Russia, Fars news agency reported. Fars said the route that goes on to pass through Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan has been an important land link to China which gained further relevance during this year's blockade of Iran's Gulf ports by the US. It added that the route had also been used by Russia for cargo shipments to Iran since late 2025. The agency said repairs to the bridge were expected to be completed quickly.
