Operation Epic Fury: Mehrabad Airport Tehran and Iranian missile production sites struck on Day 4

US-Israeli forces struck Tehran's Mehrabad Airport on Tuesday, the fourth day of Operation Epic Fury — the joint military campaign launched February 28. Mehrabad, Iran's older domestic-focused airport, serves as a major logistical and transport node in the capital. The Mehr news agency confirmed strikes in the Mehrabad area. Earlier, the Times of Israel's liveblog reported the strike. France 24 cited confirmation from multiple Iranian media sources. The strikes on Mehrabad came in the same strike package as attacks on Iranian missile production sites. Mehrabad is a dual-use facility with historical military functions, making it a legitimate military target under US-Israeli targeting doctrine. The attack follows earlier strikes on Iran's Imam Khomeini International Airport on the conflict's first day. With both of Tehran's main airports now struck, all commercial aviation in and out of Iran is effectively grounded. This compounds the civilian evacuation crisis — with 14+ countries under US State Department departure advisories and multiple nations scrambling to organize relief flights for stranded nationals.
