The IDF said the overnight airstrike at Mehrabad Airport destroyed the supreme leader’s official jet, disrupting Iran’s coordination with proxies.
The Israeli Air Force knocked out the Iranian Supreme Leader’s official aircraft in a “precise strike” at Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport overnight Sunday, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
“The aircraft was used by Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of the Iranian terror regime, additional senior officials and Iranian military personnel to advance military procurement and to manage coordination with axis countries through both domestic and international flights,” the IDF said.
Khamenei was killed in an Israeli strike in Tehran during the opening phase of “Operation Roaring Lion” on Feb. 28.
