Iran Halts All Flights at Tehran, Kermanshah, Mashhad Airports
The suspensions, covering all flights until further notice, signaled the severity of the security situation on the ground as hostilities between Tehran and Tel Aviv showed no sign of letting up.
A semi-official reported that air defense systems had been activated in the western city of Kermanshah after "hostile targets" were detected in the city's airspace — underscoring the breadth of the Israeli offensive reaching deep into Iranian territory.
The aviation crisis is the direct consequence of a conflict that reignited dramatically on Sunday, when Israel struck the Lebanese capital Beirut in defiance of an active ceasefire. Iran responded by launching missiles at northern Israel, which in turn unleashed several successive waves of airstrikes against Iranian territory.
The current escalation is part of a wider regional unraveling that began in late February, when coordinated US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran set off a chain reaction of Iranian retaliatory strikes targeting Israel and countries across the region hosting American military assets.
A ceasefire brokered on April 8 briefly interrupted the cycle of violence before collapsing under the weight of unresolved implementation disputes and continued regional deterioration.
