The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) warned EU airlines against operating in Iranian airspace at all altitudes due to heightened risks from Iranian air defense forces on alert amid potential U.S. military action. EASA cited the presence and possible use of weapons and air-defense systems, combined with unpredictable responses, creating a high risk of misidentification for civil flights in the Tehran Flight Information Region. Airlines were also advised to exercise caution in neighboring airspace near U.S. military bases.
