A US-Israeli strike has shut down a key highway in northern Iran connecting the city of Tabriz with Tehran via Zanjan, AFP reports, citing regional authorities.

The highway was hit around 90 kilometres (55 miles) outside of Tabriz, Iran’s main northern city, the official IRNA news agency said, quoting the crisis management office of the northern East Azerbaijan province.

A Telegram channel of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the strike hit an overpass bridge.
