Oct 6, 2024, 03:17 PM

Iran's Civil Aviation Organization has announced the cancellation of all flights nationwide from 9:00 PM on Sunday to 6:00 AM on Monday. This decision follows a series of flight suspensions earlier in the week, initially extended until Thursday morning due to regional tensions. The latest cancellations, reported by Mehr News Agency and Tasnim News Agency, come amid concerns of a potential Israeli attack, following Tehran's missile strikes on Israel. Flights have since resumed, but the recent announcement indicates ongoing operational limitations and heightened security measures.
