FAA Issues Heightened Iran Overflight Warning
Based on mililtary activity in the Tehran FIR, the agency advises U.S. operators to use caution when flying to or through the region.

In light of worsening relations between the U.S. and Iran, the FAA has published new guidance on the overflight risk of the Middle Eastern country and the Tehran flight information region (FIR). A Notam published last week warned that all U.S. air carriers and commercial operators should “exercise caution when flying into, out of, within, or over the Tehran FIR.”
