00:25Massive explosions have rocked Tehran,
00:28and one of Iran's main airports is now on fire. Early Saturday morning, huge
00:34blasts were reported at Marabad International Airport in the Iranian
00:38capital. Moments later, dramatic videos began spreading online showing towering
00:44flames, thick black smoke, and what appears to be a large aircraft burning
00:49on the runway. According to witnesses living near the airport, the explosions
00:54were so powerful that windows shook across western Tehran. Some residents say
00:59they heard multiple detonations within minutes, followed by massive fires
01:04lighting up the night sky. Soon after the blasts, the Israeli military confirmed it
01:09had launched a new wave of airstrikes across Tehran. The Israel Defense Forces
01:15said dozens of warplanes targeted what they described as regime infrastructure,
01:20including military facilities and command sites inside the capital. Iranian media
01:26quickly reported that Marabad Airport was among the locations hit. The airport is
01:31one of Iran's busiest domestic aviation hubs and sits right inside Tehran city
01:36limits. It handles civilian flights but also hosts military facilities and
01:41aircraft used by Iran's security forces. Footage circulating online appears to show
01:47large fires burning across the airport's tarmac, with at least one aircraft engulfed in flames,
01:53while emergency crews struggle to contain the blaze. This strike comes during a rapidly
01:59escalating conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States. Just hours earlier, Iran had
02:06launched multiple ballistic missile attacks toward Israel, triggering air raid sirens across cities
02:11around Tel Aviv. Israel's air defense systems intercepted many of the missiles, but the
02:17exchange has pushed the region closer to a wider confrontation. Now, with flames rising from a major
02:23airport in Tehran, the conflict has reached one of the most visible and symbolic targets inside the
02:29Iranian capital. The full extent of the damage and whether there were casualties remains unclear, but the
02:36images of burning aircraft and thick smoke over Tehran are already becoming one of the defining visuals
02:42of this escalating war. And as both sides continue trading strikes, the big question now is how far will
02:50this conflict spread next?
