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.
