WANA (Dec 02) – Several Western international airlines are preparing to resume flights over the airspace of the Islamic Republic of Iran after receiving confidential assurances from the United States regarding flight safety.

 

According to the information received, Washington has privately informed the airlines that there is no indication of an impending war.

 

In recent weeks, a number of Western carriers have decided to restore their flight routes over Iran. This move follows weeks of psychological operations and media speculation—primarily from certain Western and Israeli outlets—suggesting the possibility of renewed conflict in the region.

 

To verify the actual security conditions, these airlines sought confidential clarification from the U.S. government before resuming overflights, which resulted in “no indication of an impending war.”

 

Expert evaluations also describe the recent wave of alarming reports as a politically driven psychological campaign aimed at maintaining the perception of persistent tension, despite the lack of substantial evidence suggesting imminent conflict.

 

Earlier, Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization announced that Lufthansa would resume its flights to Iranian destinations beginning 16 January 2026.

 

Following a two-month halt of international flights due to political tensions and the 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel in June 2025, major carriers such as Qatar Airways and Lufthansa have gradually reinstated operations to Tehran and other Iranian cities.

 

Qatar Airways was the first to do so, operating flight QTR498 to Imam Khomeini International Airport on 16 August 2025, a significant step toward normalizing international air routes.
