Iran cancels all flights until October 7 due to 'operational restrictions'

All flights from Iran’s airports have been cancelled from 9 pm on Sunday until 6am local time on Monday, state media reported, citing a spokesperson for Iran's Civil Aviation Organisation. Amid concerns of potential Israeli strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure, oil minister Mohsen Paknejad visited Kharg Island, home to the country’s largest oil export terminal, on Sunday. According to the oil ministry’s news agency, Shana, Paknejad met with a senior Revolutionary Guards Navy commander to discuss the security of the country's key oil and gas facilities. The Kharg Island terminal, from which around 90% of Iranian oil exports are shipped, has a storage capacity of 23 million barrels of crude, making it a critical site in Iran’s oil industry.
