Airport Chaos as Regional Tensions Escalate
Tehran's Mehrabad Airport, a key domestic travel hub, became the latest flashpoint in escalating Middle Eastern tensions this week. Iranian media reports show plumes of grey smoke rising behind runways after reported strikes on Tuesday – part of ongoing military actions now entering their fourth day.
The Mehr News Agency's photos suggest disrupted operations at the airport, which handles over 12 million passengers annually. While details remain unclear, this development follows continued bombardment campaigns by U.S. and Israeli forces targeting Iranian infrastructure.
