Turkey has canceled scheduled flights between Istanbul and Tehran on Wednesday, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).
The decision comes amid a wave of protests and violent unrest sweeping Iran, raising concerns over security and the safety of air travel. While Turkish authorities have not issued detailed explanations, the suspension appears to be a precautionary measure in light of the rapidly evolving situation.
The developments follow remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump criticizing Iran’s handling of demonstrators, comments that have drawn wide international attention and added to regional tensions. Protests across several Iranian cities have reportedly intensified in recent days, accompanied by clashes between security forces and protesters.
There was no immediate indication of when flights between the two cities might resume, as officials continue to monitor the security situation.
