Egypt has instructed its airlines to avoid Iranian airspace for a three-hour period early Thursday, citing a warning from Iran amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. The Egyptian Civil Aviation Ministry received a notice from Iran advising all commercial airlines to steer clear of its airspace due to planned military exercises. This move comes as the region braces for a potential retaliatory attack by Iran on Israel, heightening fears of further escalation. The specific timing for the airspace restriction suggests a coordinated effort to minimize risks to civilian aircraft during these heightened military activities. This development underscores the fragile state of affairs in the region and the international community's concern over a possible direct confrontation.
