Iran closed its airspace following Israeli attacks
Iran has suspended all flights following overnight strikes reportedly carried out by Israel. The restrictions were imposed after part of the country’s airspace was closed. According to available information, the decision to cancel flights was made for security reasons. Air traffic was halted amid an escalation of the situation following the attacks that took place on the night of June 8.
“All flights from all airports in the country have been canceled until further notice due to the closure of western airspace,” the statement said.
This morning, it was also reported that all flights at Mehrabad Airport in Tehran, as well as at Mashhad Airport and in western Iran, had been suspended due to ongoing attacks between Iran and Israel.
It is noted that shortly before this, the Iranian Armed Forces announced the cessation of military operations against Israel.
The Iranian Airports Authority released a statement to that effect, citing TRT Haber.

Earlier, Iran launched a missile strike on the Ali Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait, where U.S. military personnel and contractors were stationed. The attack resulted in minor injuries among personnel and damage to U.S. drones. The incident occurred amid U.S. efforts to negotiate an extension of the ceasefire with Tehran.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is alive and continues to interact with his inner circle, though he does so cautiously and primarily through written messages and intermediaries. Officials in Washington note that his activity has been increasing recently.
