Israel launched a fresh wave of attacks on Iran, including strikes on the capital city’s domestic airport, as the war enters a second week. Footage on social media and photos provided by news agencies showed Mehrabad Airport on fire after Israel’s military announced a new round of strikes. Mehrabad Airport is located within Tehran’s city limits. The airport, which is owned by the Iranian government, is considered the busiest in the country. It only has domestic flights, in contrast with Imam Khomeini International Airport, located outside the city. So, a burning plane and large plumes of smoke are visible at the Mehrabad airport – Iran’s busiest airport and main domestic hub – in footage shared by eyewitnesses on social media. Satellite imagery taken on Friday shows multiple aircraft were at the airport. Iranian state media is also reporting some parts of the airport have been targeted. It comes after the Israeli military said it was launching a “broad-scale new wave of strikes” in the country. It previously targeted the airport on 4 March, saying its strikes dismantled defence and detection systems that were a threat to the Israeli Air Force, which included the helicopter manufacturing section of the airport. Mehrabad is dual use. The IRGC air transport division operates from the same runways Iran Air uses for domestic flights. Military cargo moves through the same terminals where families board flights. That dual use is not a flaw. It is a deliberate strategy embedding military logistics inside civilian infrastructure to raise the cost of targeting it.
