Iran's Civil Aviation Organization has announced the cancellation of flights at the country's airports overnight from Sunday to Monday. The closure is set to begin at 9 p.m. local time on Sunday and will last until 6 a.m. local time on Monday morning. This decision is attributed to 'operational restrictions that have arisen,' as reported by Iran's semi-official Mehr news agency.
While no specific details were provided regarding the reasons for canceling the flights, the timing coincides with the one-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel. The tensions in the region have escalated further following Iran's recent launch of nearly 200 missiles at Israel, marking the largest-ever attack on the country by Iran.
In response to the missile attacks, Israeli officials have vowed to retaliate, although the exact nature and timing of this retaliation have not been disclosed. The situation remains tense as both Iran and Israel navigate the aftermath of these recent events.
