Iran closes airspace, most int'l airlines delay flights

Iran has announced the closure of its airspace until tomorrow, including the closure of Imam Khomeini International Airport, according to reports from a news agency, while Israeli airlines announced that operations have resumed as usual.

This decision follows escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, prompting heightened security measures across the region.

In addition to the closure of its airspace, internal flights to major cities in Iran have been suspended until further notice, adding to the disruption caused by the ongoing situation.

The closure affects not only domestic travel but also international flights, with airlines like Etihad Airways cancelling flights to Israel, Oman, and Jordan. 

Emirates has also rerouted several flights in response to the developments, according to the news agency.
