British Airways canceled flights today from London to the United Arab Emirates and Qatar after the US attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities.

All flights from Heathrow Airport to Dubai and Doha were canceled for the day. The airline diverted a Dubai-bound airliner last night to Zurich. Flight BA109 was turned around after reaching Saudi Arabia, the airline says.

The airline says it is offering flexible rebooking for customers scheduled to fly to the two cities through Tuesday.
