Iran issues notice over planned rocket launches in Thursday drills

Iran issues a notice to airmen (NOTAM) that it plans rocket launches in areas across its south on Thursday, the US Federal Aviation Administration website shows.

Iran conducted navy drills this week in the Hormuz Strait and plans to conduct a joint naval exercise with Russia on Thursday.

The notice was issued amid heightened tensions with the US, which has deployed warships near Iran, as US Vice President JD Vance said Washington was weighing whether to continue diplomatic engagement with Tehran or pursue other options.

The NOTAM system provides pilots, flight crews and other users of airspace with critical safety notices.
