Escalation: Israel Halts Air Traffic, Launches Airstrikes Amid US-Iran Tensions

Amid heightened tensions, Israel has closed its airspace, halting all incoming and outgoing flights. The closure, announced on June 22, 2025, comes in the wake of US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Simultaneously, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) initiated a series of strikes on military targets in western Iran. These actions were taken after Iranian missile attacks resulted in civilian casualties in Israel. The IDF confirmed strikes on missile launch sites.
