Regional Airspace Empties, Flights Cancelled
Jerusalem/Dubai/Washington/Internet, june 13 (Maxim News) Airlines quit the airspace over Israel, Iran, Iraq and Jordan after the Israeli strikes, Flightradar24 data showed, with carriers diverting or cancelling flights.
Israeli airlines ELAI, Israir and Arkia said they were moving their planes out of Israel and Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport was shut.
Dubai based Emirates cancelled flights to and from Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Iran as Iran closed its airspace.
The United States, which was due to hold the latest round of talks with Iran on restricting its nuclear programme on Sunday, said it had no part in the operation.
The global crude oil benchmark Brent blend was up more than 6% at $73.73 at 0821 GMT, but well down from peaks around $78.
The National Iranian Oil refining and Distribution Company said oil refining and storage facilities had not been damaged and continued to operate.
Israeli military Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said tens of thousands of soldiers had been called up and “prepared across all borders.”
“We are amidst a historic campaign unlike any other. This is a critical operation to prevent an existential threat, by an enemy who is intent on destroying us,” he said.
U.S. President Donald Trump said that iran cannot have a nuclear bomb and that the United States was hoping to get back to the negotiating table, in an interview with Fox News after the start of the Israeli air strikes on Iran.
“We will see,” mediaperson Jennifer Griffin quoted Trump as saying in a post on X.
US officials have repeatedly said that any new nuclear deal with Iran – to replace a 2015 accord between Tehran and six world powers from which Trump withdrew- must include a commitment to scrap enrichment, a potential pathway to developing nuclear bombs. (Maxim News)
