Media reports that Iran has announced the temporary closure of its airspace in some regions.
This was reported by the Alexey Zheleznov Telegram channel.
The authorities have issued a notification (NOTAM), according to which flight restrictions will be in effect from November 4, 2024 from 2:30 am local time until November 6, 2024 until 6:30 pm.
Recall that, according to media reports, the Iranian leadership decided to postpone the missile attack on Israel for one important reason.
An Israeli attack on key Iranian military facilities caused tensions to rise in the region, but despite pressure from its domestic supporters, Iran decided to delay retaliation until after the US presidential election.
This decision is due to concerns that a possible escalation of the conflict could strengthen Donald Trump’s position in the elections. In recent days there has been an escalation in the conflict between Tehran and Tel Aviv, with both sides actively preparing for possible missile attacks.
Satellite images showed extensive damage at the Khojir missile site, media reports said, intensifying calls for an immediate response. However, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei took a moderate stance and said a response to Israel’s actions would be prepared but would not be rushed. He reportedly ordered the Supreme National Security Council to develop a response plan that took into account the political and military consequences for Iran and its allies in the region.
Experts say the damage caused by the Israeli attack dealt a severe blow to Iran’s defense capabilities. In addition to damage to production facilities, several air defense systems were disabled, including the Russian S-300 systems. American analysts believe the damage could slow Iran’s solid-fuel missile program by more than a year. Despite Tehran’s public statement calling the attack a “minor incident,” evidence of serious damage suggests widespread consequences for the country’s defense program.
The situation in the Middle East also worries the United States. In response to rising tensions, the Pentagon decided to send additional forces to the region, including destroyers, B-52 strategic bombers and fighter jets. White House and State Department officials said the United States intends to support Israel if it is attacked and called on Iran to refrain from actions that could escalate the conflict.
Kursor previously wrote that experts do not rule out that Iran could attack Israel in the coming days.
