Iran flight Cancellation: All flights in Iran will remain suspended until Thursday at 5 AM local time (12:30 AM GMT) amid the tense situation in the country. The announcement about the flight suspension by the country's Civil Aviation Organisation comes a day after Tehran fired missiles at Israel.
Earlier in the day, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran, saying "it made a big mistake" striking the missiles. "Iran made a big mistake tonight - and it will pay for it. The regime in Iran does not understand our determination to defend ourselves and our determination to retaliate against our enemies," Netanyahu said on Wednesday.
