Iran has extended the closure of its airspace as it expects Israeli retaliation after its attack on the enemy country on Tuesday evening.
All flights have been canceled until 5 a.m. (01:30 GMT) on Thursday to maintain aviation safety, state news agency ISNA reported, citing an aviation authority spokesman.
Iran initially closed the airspace over Tehran and canceled all flights until Wednesday morning after launching a barrage of missiles at Israel on Tuesday evening.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says the attack was in retaliation for the killings of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and an Iranian general, the powerful elite branch of Iran’s armed forces said.
Three Israeli air bases and the headquarters of Israel’s foreign intelligence service Mossad were targeted in the attack, according to Iran.
