Iran extends flight suspension amid escalating tensions with ‘Israel’

Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization announced on Wednesday the extension of its nationwide flight suspension until 2 AM Thursday, citing ongoing military escalation with the Israeli Occupation and fears of renewed airstrikes.

The decision comes as the region witnesses unprecedented tensions following a series of cross-border attacks between Tehran and ‘Israel’.

In recent days, 'Israeli' forces have carried out strikes on military and industrial sites inside Iran, including a facility near Tehran used for producing centrifuges.

Several Iranian cities, including the capital, remain on high alert, with frequent air raid sirens and the presence of defensive aircraft reported. Authorities have also imposed internet restrictions and intensified security measures across the country.

Observers say the continued suspension of flights reflects serious concerns that airports or civilian aircraft could become targets amid the ongoing conflict.

Iran remains on heightened military and security alert as mutual threats with ‘Israel’ persist. International warnings have also been issued over the risk of broader conflict that could impact neighboring countries and disrupt civil aviation and global trade routes.
