Iran announced that it has closed the country’s airspace to commercial flights by issuing a NOTAM due to military exercises.

Following Israel’s successive assassinations, genocidal attacks in Gaza and blockade of Lebanon, Iran has launched a new move, launching a retaliatory attack on Israel with more than 200 ballistic missiles.

Iran’s Civil Aviation Department has issued a NOTAM for its western airspace, stating that the country’s commercial flight area will be closed due to a “Military Exercise.”
