Iran's airspace was fully closed on June 13, 2025, following an unprecedented Israeli attack targeting its nuclear facilities, which had U.S. support.

This closure came after a 12-day air conflict in June, during which Israel conducted strikes aimed at thwarting Iran's potential nuclear weapons development.

A U.S.-brokered ceasefire was reached on June 24, officially ending hostilities between Israel and Iran.

Following the ceasefire, flights resumed progressively on June 25, initially limited to eastern Iran.

By the end of June, Iran expanded the reopening of its airspace to foreign airlines flying over its territory.

These developments occurred just a day after Iran announced the reopening of its airspace, which had been closed for nearly two weeks.

In response to the recent conflict, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that the military is developing a plan to prevent future threats from Iran.

Katz emphasized that the Israeli military must enhance its intelligence capabilities and prepare for potential military action to maintain control over Iranian airspace.

The military's preparations will focus on intelligence gathering and operational readiness to ensure air superiority over Iran.

Despite the tensions, Iran has consistently denied any intentions of seeking nuclear arms, asserting that its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes.
