Iran extends air space
Iranian state media IRNA has reported that the country’s air space will be closed until 14:00 local time (10:30 GMT), in order to protect the safety of passengers and flight security.
Iran’s airspace has been shut since Israel’s attacks last Friday, and flights have taken alternative routes as the two countries continue to trade strikes.
