Iran has grounded all domestic flights, according to Iranian state media. The suspension follows a period of heightened military alert and strikes attributed to Israel overnight. No time frame for resumption has been announced.
Iran has suspended all domestic flights nationwide, according to reports from Iranian state media circulating on Telegram. The grounding — reported at 22:56 Jerusalem time — extends to every civilian airport in the country, with no resumption time yet stated. The move marks a new nationwide alert measure following days of escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. As The Zioneer reported at 16:05 and 16:55 Jerusalem on June 8, a similar suspension was imposed earlier that day at western airports near the Iraq border, attributed to an Israeli strike in Beirut. By 21:15, the grounding was reported as applying to all western airports indefinitely. Tonight's expansion to all domestic aviation suggests a broader state of readiness across the Iranian air network. Flight-tracking data previously showed Iranian skies emptying as military posture increased. The IDF earlier warned that Iran had made a "grave mistake," and Israeli Chief of Staff approved offensive plans after a ballistic-missile salvo was intercepted over Israel on June 7. The current grounding is the widest flight restriction reported so far. It is unclear whether the suspension is primarily defensive — to prevent accidental engagements — or a precursor to further military action.
