Germany's Lufthansa airline has suspended flights to and from the Iranian capital of Tehran due to the current situation in the Middle East, as reported by Reuters. The decision, made after careful consideration, is expected to last until Thursday. A Lufthansa spokesperson emphasized that the safety of guests and crew members is the airline's top priority, with continuous monitoring of the situation in the region and close coordination with authorities.
This move follows Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's vow to retaliate against Israel for an alleged bombing of the Iranian embassy complex in Damascus, Syria. The airstrike, attributed to Israel by Iran, resulted in the destruction of the consulate and the tragic loss of seven Iranian officials and at least six Syrians, as reported by Iranian state television.
