Reports claim that Iran grounded all flights up until 6 am Monday due to “operational limitations.” The move comes just days after the Islamic Republic fired a barrage of missiles at Israel.
It is not surprising that the mullahs did not provide any details about why they took such drastic action.
Iran’s official media quoted a spokesperson from the Civil Aviation Organization of Iran, who announced the cancellations.
The state media reported that the flights had been canceled because of operational restrictions. However, no additional details were given.

The media in #Iran has published a map that shows potential targets that could be attacked in the event an attack is anticipated by #Israel. A Jordanian official denied reports by an Israeli television channel that #Jordan was going to open its airspace for Israeli planes to attack Iran.
Israel’s response to Iran’s constant aggression is awaited by the world.
Iran placed flight restrictions on Tuesday after it launched an array of ballistic missiles against Israel. Israel had vowed to respond.
Iran bombarded Israel last week with 181 missiles in what it said was in retaliation to the death of Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in Beirut by an Israeli airstrike, in September, and for the murder of Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh, who died in Tehran, in July.
Since the Israel-Hamas conflict began on October 7, Hamas and Hezbollah have both launched attacks against Israel.

At this point, it seems that Israel’s response is not a matter of if, but when.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, who has been consistently undermined by the Harris-Biden government and left to his own devices, scolded his Western allies.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, called out Western leaders on Saturday who had called for an arms embargo against Israel because of its airstrikes in Gaza against Hamas.
“All civilized nations should stand firmly with Israel as it fights against the barbarism of Iran.” Yet, [French] President Macron and other Western leaders now call for an arms embargo against Israel. In a press release, Netanyahu said: “Shame on them.”

At this point, it seems that a new conflict is inevitable.
