According to reports, multiple aircraft have departed from Mehrabad Airport in Tehran. The specific type and destination of the aircraft are not yet clear. The departure comes amid a period of heightened regional tensions, with previous similar reports of aircraft movements from the airport.
Reports from Iran early Saturday indicate that multiple aircraft have departed from Tehran's Mehrabad Airport. The specific type and destination of the aircraft are not yet clear, and the report has not been confirmed by official Iranian sources.
Mehrabad Airport serves as a dual-use hub, handling both civilian domestic traffic and military logistics for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple instances of aircraft movements from the airport amid heightened tensions, including a report on July 8 of aircraft departing without transponders, heading east, and a broader evacuation of the airport on July 9 for the first time since the ceasefire.
It remains unclear whether this latest departure is related to a specific operational need or a broader precautionary measure. No official statement has been issued by Iranian authorities.
