Tehran: A parked passenger aircraft was hit by missile strikes at the Bushehr airport in Tehran as the war continued to rage in the Middle East.
The Mehrabad airport in Tehran was one of the civilian areas hit by strikes carried out jointly by the US and Israeli military against the leadership in Iran. Thich grey smoke was seen billowing into the sky behind apparently, a runway.
US-Israel forces rained ballistic missiles on Iran and neutralised its Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in his compound in Tehran. Iran responded with missile attacks and UAVs, including its low-cost Shahed drones, which targeted not only Israel and US military bases in the Gulf, but also civilian areas, including embassies.
The regional war could have large-scale consequences and can disrupt the world's energy supply, especially since Iran has shut down the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump Says ‘Too Late’ for Talks
On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump posted on X that it was "too late" for Iran to restart negotiations. He also claimed that Iran's leadership, along with its air defence, Air Force, and Navy are "gone".
Trump's assertion comes after Dr. Abdul Majid Hakeem Ilahi, the representative of the late Iranian Supreme Leader, declared that while Iran is open to diplomatic negotiations, any talks must be conducted on the basis of national “dignity.”
