Iran shuts airspace as U.S. tensions escalate, flights reroute

Iran briefly closed its airspace to most flights late Wednesday amid rising U.S.-Iran tensions, prompting reroutes and cancellations by major carriers; the FAA said the block ran from 10:15 p.m. UTC to 12:30 a.m. UTC and was extended to 3:30 a.m. UTC, with international Tehran flights requiring prior approval. The move followed President Trump’s threats of intervention after a crackdown on protests, though he later signaled restraint; airlines including IndiGo, Lufthansa Group, Emirates, Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines have been affected by the restrictions.
