Iranian sources report that planes without transponders have taken off from Tehran's Mehrabad Airport, heading east, apparently due to fears of airstrikes. The report is unverified.
Iranian sources reported Wednesday evening that aircraft without transponders have taken off from Mehrabad Airport in Tehran, heading east. The sources indicated the move appeared to be a precaution against potential airstrikes. The report has not been independently verified.
The Zioneer has previously tracked multiple reports of unusual aircraft activity over Iran in recent weeks. On June 10, fighter jets were reported taking off from Mehrabad, and on June 14, unidentified fighter jets were reported over western Iran. Those reports remain unconfirmed. The current report, if accurate, would reflect ongoing concern within Iran about aerial threats, though the nature and origin of any potential threat remain unclear.
