Attorney General Pam Bondi has been fired, a senior administration official and a source familiar with the matter told NBC News. 

Donald Trump had grown “more and more frustrated”  with Bondi in recent days, a person familiar with White House deliberations said, adding that while he likes her as a person, he doesn’t think she has “executed on his vision” in the way that he wants. 

According to a source familiar with the decision, Todd Blanche will be the acting attorney general, effective immediately.

A US-Israeli attack hit a key bridge on a main highway in northern Iran on Thursday, in the latest escalation in the region, Iranian media reported.

According to Fars News Agency, multiple sites were struck in the Azimieh area near the city of Karaj, including the B1 Bridge, described as the highest bridge in the Middle East.

The outlet said several people were injured in the attack, and rescue teams were dispatched to the scene.

The strike caused damage to the bridge, which was part of a major road infrastructure project and was expected to be inaugurated soon, according to the report.

The ideal patient will die with an estate that is worth exactly what it says on the final bill 😊😊

President Donald Trump has ousted Pam Bondi as attorney general, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.

She will be replaced for now by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who will serve as acting attorney general, Trump said.

The president wrote on Truth Social that Bondi would be “transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector,” praising her for her work in his administration and offering no specific reason for why she would be leaving.

“Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year. Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900,” Trump wrote.

Trump had been frustrated with Bondi on multiple fronts, sources said, including her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and that she had not investigated or prosecuted enough of his political opponents. She is the second Cabinet secretary to be ousted in recent weeks; last month, Trump removed Kristi Noem as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

The B1 bridge in Karaj, which was still under construction, was set to form part of a major highway connecting the region with Tehran, the Iranian capital.

Two people were killed and several injured in the strike on the 136-metre-high structure, Iranian state media reported.

Mr Trump posted about the attack on his Truth Social platform, writing: “The biggest bridge in Iran comes tumbling down, never to be used again – Much more to follow! IT IS TIME FOR IRAN TO MAKE A DEAL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE, AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF WHAT STILL COULD BECOME A GREAT COUNTRY!”

The Iranian regime also claimed that bombs struck a century-old medical centre in Tehran. Images published by the health ministry show a largely destroyed building, which it identified as the Pasteur Institute of Iran.
