Iran news agency deletes report on shuttered airspace over Tehran, claims not to have published it

Iran’s Mehr news agency removes a report from its official channel on X that had said Iran was closing its airspace over the capital Tehran and denies in a new post that it had published any such news.

In the original report posted on X, the semi-official news agency cited the Iranian defense minister as saying that all air traffic had been suspended over Tehran “due to military drills.”
