In response to escalating military tensions in the Middle East, international airlines have begun canceling and suspending flights. Israeli attacks on Iran, compounded by a U.S. assault on Iranian nuclear sites, have forced carriers to reassess flight safety, leading to curtailed operations in the region.

Major airlines such as Delta, Lufthansa, and Air France are among those making significant schedule adjustments. Flights to critical hubs such as Tel Aviv, Tehran, and Dubai have been affected, with changes likely impacting airline operations for the foreseeable future.

The airspace closures and the resultant travel restrictions underscore the fragility of international transit amid geopolitical unrest. As the situation develops, airlines continue to evaluate safety measures, ensuring passenger and crew security remain a top priority.
