Not surprisingly, the mullahs offered no details as to why they were taking such dramatic action:

Iran’s state media cited a spokesperson for Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization, which announced the flight cancellations.

State media said the flights were canceled due to operational restrictions, though no further details were provided.

Media in #Iran published a map of potential targets that may be hit in the event of an anticipated attack by #Israel. A Jordanian source denied reports from an Israeli channel that #Jordan would open its airspace to Israeli planes for attacking Iran.

The world awaits to see how Israel will respond to Iran’s endless aggression:

Iran imposed flight restrictions last Tuesday when it launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel, in an attack Israel vowed to respond to. 

Iran bombarded Israel with 181 missiles last week in what the regime said was retaliation for the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut, Lebanon, in an Israeli airstrike in September and the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July. 

Meanwhile, Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon have traded attacks with Israel since the Israel-Hamas war began on Oct. 7.

It would seem that at this point, it’s not a question of if—it’s a question of when Israel will retaliate.

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom the Harris-Biden regime has consistently undercut and left to fend for himself, scorched his Western allies:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday called out Western leaders who he said had called for an arms embargo on Israel over its airstrikes against Hamas in Gaza.

“As Israel fights the forces of barbarism led by Iran, all civilized countries should be standing firmly by Israel’s side, yet [French] President Macron and other western leaders are now calling for arms embargoes against Israel. Shame on them,” Netanyahu said in a statement.
