Heavy bombing at the Wahdati Airbase near Dezhful in Iran's Khuzestan province raises concerns after missiles struck ammunition bunkers, leading to secondary explosions and a significant threat to a nearby nuclear facility.
On March 21, 2026, significant bombing occurred at the Wahdati Airbase near Dezhful city in Iran's Khuzestan province, where U.S. and Israeli precision missiles targeted the base's ammunition bunkers. Following the initial strikes, secondary explosions erupted as stored weapons detonated, generating a massive mushroom cloud that could be seen from kilometers away. Local residents captured videos of the destruction, which included the sounds of explosions and shockwaves disturbing the environment. Historically home to outdated F-5 Tiger II fighter jets, the airbase could not withstand this assault despite having previously endured attacks during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s.
