A mysterious UAE aircraft reportedly landed at Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport despite widespread flight suspensions and nearly empty skies over Iran. Iranian outlet Fars News claimed the flight reached the capital as regional tensions surged and missile exchanges disrupted air traffic across the Middle East. Flight-tracking data showed large parts of Iranian, Iraqi and Syrian airspace largely deserted, while reports of a major explosion in Tehran added to the intrigue. Was this a routine flight, a diplomatic mission, or something more sensitive? Hindustan Times could not independently verify the reported landing.
