Germain airline Lufthansa has suspended flights to Tehran through April 13 as the Middle East braces for an Iranian retaliatory strike on Israel.
German airline Lufthansa on Thursday extended its suspension of flights to Tehran amid high tensions in the Middle East, where an Iranian retaliatory strike on Israel is widely expected. Earlier, an Iranian news agency published an Arabic-language report on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying airspace over Tehran had been closed for military drills, but the post was removed, and the agency denied issuing such a report, according to Reuters.
Israel responded Wednesday, warning that anyone who tries to strike them "will be met with a strong defense." "We know how to respond quickly and decisively to the territory of whoever attacks our territory – no matter where that may be in the Middle East," Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said. "Over the years, we have been known to prepare surprises for our enemies.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that his country is prepared "defensively and offensively" in the event of an Iranian attack. "We are in challenging times. We are in the midst of the war in Gaza, which is continuing at full force, even as we are continuing our relentless efforts to return our hostages," Netanyahu said during a visit to Tel Nof Air Base.
