Iran imposes flight ban: chaos in the sky - what is behind it?

Iran imposed a short -term nationwide flight ban this evening, according to the civil aviation authority. This ban applies from 9 p.m. local time to 6 a.m. the next morning, with all flights in the country canceled. The spokesman for the authority led "operational restrictions" as a reason without revealing further details. This decision brings considerable disorders in internal flight traffic and ensures uncertainty among travelers.

This measure follows a recent blocking of the airspace, which lasted over 48 hours and reacted to rocket attacks on Israel. Despite the lifting of this block, international flights remained almost completely from Tehran. Experts speculate that the renewed ban on flight could be connected to a possible Israeli counterattack, which continues to keep the Situation tense.
