Iran has closed its airspace to all flights following the issuance of a NOTAM, coinciding with Western military officials’ claims of imminent US military action. Flight tracking indicates a rapid evacuation of airspace over Iran and Iraq prior to the NOTAM, which is effective for just over two hours. A Western military official noted that the unpredictability from the US administration is part of its strategy. Meanwhile, President Trump stated he would monitor the situation, and Iran warned of potential strikes on US bases in the region if attacked.
