Iranian state media reported on Thursday that a series of coordinated attacks targeted key infrastructure in the capital, including an international airport, a major bridge, and a communications tower. According to the reports, the strikes were launched by armed groups that the government has identified as hostile foreign operatives. The airport sustained structural damage to a terminal wing and a runway section, while the bridge suffered partial collapse of its central span, and the communications tower was knocked down, disrupting regional broadcast services.

Security officials said that emergency crews were dispatched immediately, and preliminary assessments indicate that no civilian casualties were reported, though several workers were injured and the airport’s flight operations were temporarily suspended. The Iranian Ministry of Interior has launched an investigation into the incident, citing intelligence that the attackers were equipped with advanced explosives and drones. The government has condemned the attacks as a threat to national security and has urged the international community to assist in identifying the perpetrators.

The attacks come amid heightened tensions between Iran and several Western nations over regional security issues. While the government has not released detailed evidence of the attackers’ identities, it has pledged to strengthen protective measures for critical infrastructure. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities have promised to release further information as it becomes available.
