This recent assault marks Iran’s second direct strike against Israel, following a missile and drone attack in April. Flights were reported to have resumed on Thursday morning at 5:00 AM (01:30 GMT).

Jafar Yazarloo, a spokesman for Iran’s Civil Aviation Organisation, confirmed that operations had restarted, stating that restrictions had been lifted. “After ensuring favorable and safe flight conditions and the end of the restrictions, airlines are now allowed to carry out flight operations,” he said, as reported by the official IRNA news agency.

In light of the ongoing tensions, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency has advised European airlines to avoid using Iranian airspace until October 31, pending continuous assessments of the situation. Similar advisories were issued for Israel and Lebanon over the weekend.

UN Secretary-General Condemns Iran’s Missile Attack

Meanwhile, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has condemned Iran’s missile attack on Israel. His statement on Tuesday came after Israel declared him persona non grata (unwanted) and barred him from entering the country.

Naija News reported that Israel’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Israel Katz, accused Guterres of supporting terrorism in the Middle East in response to his remarks on the missile attack. “I have declared UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres persona non grata in Israel and banned him from entering the country. Anyone who cannot unequivocally condemn Iran’s heinous attack on Israel, as almost every country in the world has done, does not deserve to step foot on Israeli soil,” Katz stated.

In his response to the declaration, Guterres clarified that his statement should have been interpreted as a clear condemnation of Iran’s missile strike. He emphasized, “Yesterday (Tuesday), Iran launched approximately 200 ballistic missiles toward Israel. Millions of people across Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory were forced to seek shelter.”

He reiterated his condemnation of the missile attack, stating, “As I did in relation to the Iranian attack in April—and as should have been obvious yesterday in the context of the condemnation I expressed—I again strongly condemn yesterday’s massive missile attack by Iran on Israel.” He added that such attacks do not support the cause of the Palestinian people or alleviate their suffering.
