All flights in Iran have been canceled until Thursday morning in connection with the situation in the Middle East, Jafar Yazerlu, a spokesperson for Iran's Civil Aviation Organization, said on Wednesday.
"In order to maintain flight safety and [taking into account] the situation in the region, all flights throughout the country are canceled until 5 am [local time, 01:30 GMT] tomorrow," Yazerlu was quoted as saying by the Tasnim news agency.
On Tuesday, Iran launched several hundred ballistic missiles toward Israel in response to the killings of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, and senior IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan. Tehran noted that it was not seeking a war with Israel but would confront any threat in a resolute manner.
Iran's action against Israel is over, but the response will be even stronger if Israel provokes it, Iran's foreign minister said.
