This decision follows a recent escalation of tensions in the region, particularly after Iran launched missiles at Israel on Tuesday. The missile strikes, which targeted specific locations in Israel, were part of a broader military campaign that Iran has indicated is a response to ongoing regional hostilities. In the aftermath of the attacks, Israel has vowed to retaliate, warning that it would take all necessary measures to protect its sovereignty and citizens.
The Iranian state that the cancellations were due to "operational restrictions," but did not provide specific details about the nature of these restrictions. This lack of information has led to speculation regarding the potential implications for air travel safety and security in the region.
The Civil Aviation Organisation's announcement reflects the Iranian government's cautious approach amid rising military tensions and the threat of potential retaliatory strikes. The closure of airspace and the suspension of flights underscore the serious security concerns facing the country and the wider region.
Travelers and airlines are advised to stay updated on the situation as it develops, as further changes to flight schedules may occur in response to ongoing military and political developments.
