The US airstrike on Iran further affects international air freight.

The ongoing military conflicts between Israel and Iran have led to multiple airlines adjusting their flight routes to reduce safety risks. However, the sudden airstrike by the United States on Iran's nuclear facilities has further disrupted international aviation operations. According to Reuters, the airspace in the Middle East has become a crucial corridor for flights between Europe and Asia due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. However, with the conflict between Israel and Iran escalating, airlines are avoiding dangerous airspace and opting for routes either to the north via the Caspian Sea or to the south via Egypt and Saudi Arabia, despite the higher fuel costs and longer flight times. The "24-hour Flight Radar" website, which provides real-time flight status, shows that there are hardly any planes flying over the airspace of Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Israel.
