The Iraqi government has temporarily closed operations at airports in Iraq.
Iraq's transport ministry announced on Wednesday local time that it was indefinitely suspending flights at all airports in Iraq due to heightened regional tensions, according to Reuters.
Iraq's state-run INA news agency said Israeli forces had carried out attacks targeting Iranian military facilities, which led to the Iraqi government's decision to suspend the flights.
