Israel says struck two F-14 warplanes at Tehran airport

An Israeli drone has struck a pair of Iranian F-14 fighter jets at an airport in Tehran, the Israeli military said on Monday.

"These jets were intended, among other things, to intercept IAF (Israel Air Force) aircraft," the military said in a statement, adding that the Air Force also struck and thwarted an attempt to launch drones toward Israel.

Earlier in a statement, the Israeli military said that since the morning hours, Israeli warplanes have struck trucks containing weapons and surface-to-air missile launchers, advancing from western Iran toward Tehran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that the Israeli Air Force "controls the skies over Tehran," and that Israel was on the way to achieving two main objectives -- eliminating the nuclear threat and eliminating the missile threat.
