The advisory comes as Iran has launched targeted attacks on US bases and assets across the Gulf region in retaliation for the unprovoked US-Israeli strikes that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several top commanders on Saturday.
The retaliatory strikes have also targeted major regional aviation hubs, including Dubai International Airport – the world’s busiest – where damage and casualties were reported, as well as sites near international airports in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq.
In response, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE have announced partial or total airspace closures, triggering widespread travel chaos across the region with more than 3,400 flights canceled across seven major Middle Eastern airports, affecting hundreds of thousands of passengers.
