Israel Attacks Iran: Israel carried out a massive air strikes on Iran on Friday morning. These attacks targeted Iran’s atomic sites, missile systems and military commanders. The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) confirmed these attacks and the operation was named “Rising Lion”. The voices of many blasts were heard in the capital Tehran.

Soon after this attack, a time-laps video of Flightradar24 appeared, showing that all the commercial aircraft in Iranian aircraft turned fast in the other direction. The entire aircraft of Iran suddenly became empty. It is clear in the video that as soon as the Israeli missiles entered the sky, all the airlines stopped flying over Iran.

Effect on global flights: Rota changed, time and expenses increase
This massive diversion of aircraft from Iranian airspace has affected international flights. Many flights had to adopt alternative routes, which increased the distance, time and fuel expenses of flights. Especially the airlines flying between the Middle East and Asia faced more problems.

Israel said- ‘These attacks were necessary’
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu justified this military action and said that Iran has become “a threat to the existence of Israel”. He told that these attacks were necessary and have been carried out under further strategy.

Iran accused America
While Iran has accused the US of supporting Israel’s action, US President Donald Trump has denied any direct role. In a conversation with Fox News, Trump admitted that he was informed before the attack, but reiterated that the US stance was clear- Iran cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear bomb.
