Iranian government spokeswoman Fatemah Mohajerani says Bushehr airport located in the country’s southwest has been rendered inoperable following recent US strikes, AlJazeera reported.

“[It] requires complete reconstruction from the ground up,” Mohajerani tells a news conference.

“We saw the remains of a refurbished aircraft that had been purchased to serve the people, but it was destroyed by a missile that struck it directly, leaving only a small part of its tail intact,” she said.

Mohajerani added the Bushehr Meteorological Centre, “which is completely of a civilian nature, has almost nothing left of it”.
