One of Iran’s two airports, Mehrabad, which mainly handles domestic flights, was targeted on Tuesday by strikes as the United States and Israel kept up their bombardment of the Islamic Republic for a fourth day.

The Mehr news agency published photos showing a cloud of grey smoke rising into the sky behind what appeared to be a runway.

“The American-Zionist terrorists attacked the area around the Mehrabad airport” in the capital’s west, it said.
