Iran's president apologises to neighbours for conflict after huge explosions rock Tehran airport Explosions have shaken Tehran's main commercial airport, with witnesses reporting a burning plane on the tarmac. The Israeli military confirmed a new wave of strikes targeting Iranian infrastructure in Tehran and Isfahan, marking its first public announcement of such actions today. Meanwhile, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it struck an oil tanker in the Gulf, calling the attack a response to the vessel's disregard of warnings to avoid the Strait of Hormuz. The strait, a critical energy shipping route, has seen heightened tensions as Iran threatened to destroy ships attempting to pass through. In the UAE, Dubai International Airport partially resumed operations after earlier suspensions, though confusion persists over flight status. The Dubai Media Office denied reports of airport damage, stating the incident was minor with no injuries. Emirates airline announced it would resume operations, urging passengers to proceed to the airport if their flights were confirmed. However, the airport itself temporarily halted all services, citing safety concerns for passengers and staff. Iran's president, Pezeshkian, addressed the situation, apologizing to neighboring countries for attacks and vowing not to strike them unless attacked first. He emphasized regional cooperation to achieve peace and condemned support for Israel or the U.S., calling it a path to "dishonor and lack of freedom." Shortly after his remarks, Qatar's defense ministry reported intercepting a missile attack, adding to the region's escalating tensions. The conflict has disrupted global energy flows, with the Strait of Hormuz witnessing a standstill in shipping. U.S.#iran #israel #strait_of_hormuz #qatar #tehran_airport
