Bombing Reported Around Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport as Explosions Rock Capital

The area around Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport was hit by bombing overnight, according to Iranian media reports, as fresh explosions were heard across the capital during another round of strikes in the escalating regional war. Iran’s semiofficial Tasnim news agency said the area near the airport was bombed, while a video shared online showed bright orange fires on the horizon and thick black smoke rising into the night sky. Iranian reports said multiple explosions were heard.

Mehrabad is one of Tehran’s main airports and primarily handles domestic flights, though it also has strategic importance because parts of the airport are linked to military and official aviation operations. Reports from Iranian and regional media said smoke could be seen rising from the vicinity of the airport after the strikes, making it one of the latest sites in the capital to come under attack.
The reported strike comes as the United States and Israel continue a sustained aerial campaign against targets in and around Tehran. According to recent reporting, Iranian media had already said Mehrabad was struck earlier this week during what Israel described as an extensive wave of attacks on Iranian regime targets in the capital.

No official casualty toll from the latest reported bombing around Mehrabad was immediately available. Iranian media coverage focused on the explosions, visible fires, and smoke, but did not provide confirmed details on injuries or the extent of damage to airport infrastructure.
The latest incident adds to growing disruption around Tehran’s air transport network. Earlier reporting said Iran had suspended flights to and from key airports, including Mehrabad, as airstrikes and airspace closures spread across the region. The repeated targeting of airport areas has raised fresh concerns about both civilian transport and the safety of strategic infrastructure in the Iranian capital.

For residents of Tehran, the explosions near Mehrabad were another sign that the conflict is pressing deeper into the city’s critical urban infrastructure. With fires visible from a distance and detonations heard overnight, the attack underscored how the war is continuing to reshape daily life in the Iranian capital.
