ALBAWABA- German’s Lufthansa Airlines has suspended flights to Tehran amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, following a suspected Israeli airstrike on Iran’s embassy in Syria. The decision comes as the region braces for potential retaliation.
An Iranian news agency briefly claimed Tehran airspace closure, later retracting the report. Lufthansa's suspension, effective until possibly April 11, prioritizes passenger and crew safety.
Iran’s supreme leader vowed retribution for the Damascus strike, heightening concerns of retaliatory actions against Israel. Reports suggest anticipation of major strikes.
Tensions persist amid past incidents like Iran's downing of a Ukrainian airliner and missile attacks on US bases. The broader context includes ongoing conflict dynamics, such as Israel’s campaign in Gaza.
