Iran has set its airspace to risk level 1 (no fly) and closed it, according to reports. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) recommends airlines avoid flights over Tehran at all altitudes.
Iran has placed its airspace at the highest risk level — level 1 (no fly) — and closed it, according to information reviewed by The Zioneer. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has separately advised all airlines to avoid flights over Tehran at any altitude.
The measure follows a pattern of regional airspace restrictions reported in recent months. EASA has previously recommended avoiding Iranian, Iraqi, and Lebanese airspace in June and July, as The Zioneer has reported, citing risks from military escalation. The current closure suggests a heightened state of readiness or ongoing activity in the area.
No further details on the duration of the closure or the immediate cause have been confirmed. Reports of explosions in Iran and Jordan have also emerged, but their connection to this airspace status is not yet established.
