Iranian authorities have ordered the closure of all airports in the southern Hormozgan province and the cancellation of flights until further notice, citing the security situation in the south of the country. The announcement was reported by Iranian media on Wednesday afternoon. Hormozgan province, which includes the strategic Strait of Hormuz and the island of Qeshm, has been a focal point of heightened military activity in recent weeks. The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple rounds of Iranian airspace closures and flight suspensions across the country, including a nationwide grounding on June 8 following Israeli strikes, and a subsequent normalization of operations on June 14. The current closure appears localized to the southern province, but the stated reason — 'the situation in the south' — remains vague. It is not yet clear whether this is a precautionary measure or a response to a specific incident. No further details on the duration or scope of the closure have been provided.
