The flights were canceled due to operational restrictions, the media quoted the spokesman as saying, who did not provide other details, Reuters reported.
Iran imposed flight restrictions on Tuesday as it fired missiles at Israel, which vowed to retaliate.
Israel promised retaliation shortly after the attack ended
For several months now, fears of Iranian retaliation against Israel for the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran have been on the rise.
White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, according to Associated Press, called the recent rocket attack on Tel Aviv a “significant escalation” as Israel vowed to retaliate shortly after the attack ended.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also said Iran would “pay” for missiles fired at his country.
Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei defended his country’s actions, saying Iran would attack again if Israel responded.
