Background
The Damia Bridge (also known as the Adam Bridge) is a Jordan River crossing north of the King Hussein Bridge, connecting the Damia area of the Jordan Valley. It serves as a secondary route for agricultural and commercial traffic between Jordan and the West Bank. In April 2026, Fars News named it alongside two other Jordanian bridges on a list of eight Gulf and Levant targets for potential Iranian retaliation following the US strike on the B1 bridge in Karaj.
The inclusion of the Damia Bridge alongside the King Hussein and Abdoun bridges suggests Iran is targeting Jordan's cross-river infrastructure comprehensively rather than selectively. The Damia crossing is of lower strategic visibility than the Allenby Bridge but carries significant agricultural produce and goods traffic.
Jordan has maintained formal Coalition partnerships and provided airspace access during the conflict. Iranian targeting of Jordanian infrastructure is framed as punitive deterrence, though Amman has stated it will not withdraw from Coalition arrangements regardless of Iranian threats.
