In the past half hour, I've received a lot of messages from West Tehran about the sound of several planes flying. According to some of those messages: they took off from Mehrabad Airport in Tehran. It seems there were two or three small planes and two fighter jets. One person also wrote: after the planes left, a large convoy of ceremonial vehicles with flashing lights moved along the runway. They sent a video, but it wasn't clear from a distance.

Update:
20 minutes after this post, which is about an hour after the sounds were heard:
"The public relations office of the army told the IRIB news agency: A few minutes ago, two F-4 fighter jets and one MiG-29 fighter jet of the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force took off for their assigned missions according to the flight plan."

🔄 Update:
Fars News Agency, close to the Revolutionary Guards, announced on Saturday night, April 28, that a Pakistani political delegation that had traveled to Iran left Tehran accompanied by fighter jets of the Islamic Republic.
