It has been revealed that Iran, where protests have been ongoing for 18 days, made the decision to close its airspace after the U.S. moved its aircraft carrier strike group from the South China Sea to the Middle East.
Iran has closed its airspace to civilian flights due to increasing regional tensions; it announced that only limited transit permission is granted for international flights that have been pre-approved. This decision came simultaneously with the deployment of a U.S. aircraft carrier strike group from the South China Sea to the Middle East, during a period when Washington is increasing its military presence in the region. Iran's move indicates that tensions between the two countries are rising.
ACTIONS ARE COMING IN SUCCESSION
As the verbal and military pressure from the U.S. on Iran grows, the United Kingdom has also announced the temporary withdrawal of its personnel from Tehran for security reasons. Meanwhile, the U.S. virtual embassy has called on its citizens in Iran to leave the country.
IRAN IS TRYING EVERYTHING TO END THE PROTESTS
Iranian government officials have claimed that foreign actors play a provocative role in the protests within the country and stated that "elements linked to foreign intelligence" will be held responsible in this context. Judicial authorities also emphasized that "swift and accurate" legal processes will be implemented against those arrested during the protests.
ISRAEL IS ALSO ON ALERT
In assessments regarding military tensions in the region, it was stated that the Israeli army has also strengthened its border security and is closely monitoring the current situation.
