- United Arab Emirates
Iran's Mehr news agency removed a report on Wednesday from its official channel on X that had said Iran was closing its airspace over the capital Tehran and denied 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 defence minister as saying that all air traffic had been suspended over Tehran from 2030 GMT on Wednesday "due to military drills". (Writing by Parisa Hafezi; Editing by Leslie Adler)
