Iran closes airspace over entire maritime zone along Azerbaijan border

Iran has announced the closure of its airspace over the entire maritime zone along its border with Azerbaijan in the Caspian Sea, issuing a formal NOTAM to notify aviation authorities and flight operators.

The move indicates that Iran is conducting drone exercises within the specified airspace.

The exercises are taking place amid heightened regional tensions, as the United States has mobilized significant military assets in the broader region and has issued warnings of possible military action against Tehran.
