Israel Destroys Khamenei's Plane at Tehran Airport, Citing Blow to Iran's Coordination
•Israel claims its air force destroyed a plane used by former Iranian leader Ali Khamenei at Mehrabad Airport in Tehran.
•The IDF stated the aircraft was a "strategic asset" used by Khamenei and senior officials for military procurement and managing ties with "axis" countries.
•Israel asserts the strike significantly impairs Iran's ability to coordinate with proxy groups and rebuild its military infrastructure.
•Mehrabad Airport, a dual-use facility housing Iranian air force assets, is a recurring target in the ongoing conflict.
•This follows an earlier strike this month where Israel destroyed 16 aircraft at the same airport, allegedly used by the Quds Force for transferring weapons to groups like Hezbollah.
