The airlines Flynas (Saudi Arabia) and Qeshm Air (Iran) have temporarily canceled their flights to Uzbekistan. The reason for this decision is the escalation of tensions in the Middle East and the closure of part of the airspace over Iran, which has complicated flights between the regions.
This was reported by Uzbekistan Airports.
The decision to cancel the flights was made in light of the recent escalation of conflict. Iran launched more than 180 rockets towards Israel. According to the spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Daniel Hagari, some of these rockets were intercepted, but several reached their targets. As a result of the attack, Israeli media reported one death and two injuries.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iran’s elite military unit, stated that the attack was in retaliation for the killings of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
In response to the attack, the IDF General Staff noted that Israel “will choose the time” for a counterstrike and “will surprise” with its response. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also issued a statement, warning that further strikes on Israel could be even more significant.
It is currently unknown when the airspace will be reopened and flights will resume.
