Most flights were prohibited from Iranian airspace during two time windows on Thursday, with commercial flights requiring prior approval from Iran’s Civil Aviation Organisation. FlightRadar showed three aircraft over Iran at 6:05am local time, with dozens of planes routing around the country’s borders, and the airspace reopened at about 7am local time. The US and the United Kingdom withdrew a number of military personnel from Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, and a senior Iranian official said Tehran had warned it would target US forces in the Middle East if Trump launched an attack. OpsGroup’s Safe Airspace warned of risks including missile launches, heightened air defence, and misidentification of civil traffic.
