Lamerd International Airport struck in US-Israeli air attack — Fars province, Iran; no casualties (IRNA)

Iran's Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported on March 26 that Lamerd International Airport in Fars province, southwestern Iran, was struck by projectiles in a US-Israeli air attack. No casualties were reported. Lamerd is a city in Fars province, approximately 200km southeast of Shiraz. Fars province is home to several strategically significant sites: Shiraz (major city, military installations), the Mehr Abad and Shiraz air bases, and petrochemical infrastructure. Lamerd itself is near major gas condensate processing facilities. The airport strike is consistent with Netanyahu's 48-hour arms industry blitz mandate issued on Day 26: airports and dual-use infrastructure serve as logistics nodes for IRGC operations and arms transportation. Striking Lamerd airport degrades IRGC's ability to redistribute weapons and personnel within southwestern Iran. This is the first confirmed kinetic event of Day 27 and extends the IDF/US air campaign to a province not previously struck in the conflict. IRNA is Iran's state news agency and its confirmation of strikes on Iranian soil is generally reliable even if framing is adversarial.
