US Strike Damages Iranian Plane, Aid Mission to India May Be Hit

Share


A reported U.S. airstrike at Mashhad airport in Iran on Monday has allegedly damaged an aircraft belonging to Mahan Air, raising concerns over a planned humanitarian mission to New Delhi.

According to Iranian officials, the aircraft was scheduled to travel to New Delhi this week to collect essential medical supplies and humanitarian aid for people in Iran. However, the reported damage to the plane following the strike may disrupt these plans. U.S. authorities have not yet confirmed or commented on the claim.

Reports suggest that the aircraft was expected to arrive in New Delhi on April 1 as part of ongoing relief efforts. Earlier, India had sent its first consignment of medical supplies to Iran on March 18 through the Iranian Red Crescent Society. The Iranian embassy in New Delhi had expressed gratitude to the people of India for their support.

Mahan Air, a privately owned airline, operates flights across multiple regions, including West Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia.

The situation remains unclear as further confirmation is awaited, but the reported incident has raised concerns over potential disruptions to humanitarian aid efforts between India and Iran.
