Ongoing military tensions stemming from large-scale US and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets beginning in late February 2026 have prompted repeated Iranian airspace restrictions, including full or partial closures of the Tehran Flight Information Region and western sectors. These measures, often issued via NOTAMs citing missile activity and defense alerts, reflect heightened security concerns amid retaliatory exchanges and regional instability. Partial reopenings have occurred since March and April, yet international advisories continue to discourage overflights due to degraded radar and active risks. Diplomatic mediation efforts and potential further strikes remain key variables that could trigger additional closures or reopenings in the coming weeks. Trader assessments incorporate these patterns alongside historical precedents of temporary shutdowns during escalations.
