The European Union Aviation Safety Agency called on airlines to avoid Iranian airspaceAmidst the US threats to the country.
In her statement: “The presence of a wide range of weapons and air defense systems and their possible use, in addition to unexpected reactions from the state…all of this poses a great danger to civilian flights operating at all altitudes and flight levels,” the agency said in a statement.
According to what was published by “Reuters” agency: The agency warned of the increased risk of mistakenly targeting aircraft in Iranian airspace in light of continued tension and the possibility of the United States launching military action, which has put the Iranian air defense forces on high alert.
Data from flight tracking sites showed that European airlines, including West Air, Lufthansa, and British Airways, avoided flying over Iran and Iraq the day before yesterday, Thursday, despite the reopening of airspace.
It is noteworthy that Reuters had quoted residents and a human rights organization in Iran that the protests there had declined in recent days.
