Iran has closed its airspace
Iran officially announced restrictions on the use of its airspace, issuing a corresponding notice to aviation (NOTAM). As a result, civilian aircraft are temporarily prohibited from flying over the country's territory. However, exceptions are made for international flights destined for Iran or departing from it—such flights are permitted only with special authorization and prior approval from Iranian authorities.

At the same time, it became known that the Iranian leadership has placed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Air and Space Force, as well as air defense units, on heightened combat readiness. These measures indicate serious concern in Tehran over the current situation and potential external threats.
Amid these developments in the United States, the possibility of a military operation against Iran is being discussed. According to media reports, U.S. President Donald Trump is considering various scenarios in response to the harsh suppression of anti-government protests within the country. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Defense is taking steps to reduce risks for its personnel in the region.
In particular, the Pentagon has begun a partial reduction in the number of military personnel and civilian specialists at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. According to official sources speaking to American broadcaster CBS, the partner of BBC, the withdrawal of part of the personnel is preventive in nature and aimed at ensuring safety in the event of a possible escalation of the conflict.
Al Udeid Air Base is one of the key U.S. military hubs in the Middle East. Approximately 10,000 American military personnel and civilian staff responsible for the base's operation and regional activities are permanently stationed there.
In turn, Iranian authorities have issued strong warnings, stating their readiness to strike U.S. military installations in the Middle East should the U.S. initiate an attack. Such statements increase tensions and indicate a high risk of further escalation of the situation.
Additionally, according to BBC reports, part of the British military contingent is also being withdrawn from Al Udeid Air Base. The UK has also taken precautionary measures at the diplomatic level, temporarily closing its embassy in Tehran. Currently, embassy staff continue working remotely.
