Iranian Cleric Warns Regional Airports Could Close if Iran’s Facilities Are Shut

An Iranian cleric warned that neighboring countries could face retaliation if their airports were used against Iran, saying no regional airport would remain open if Iran’s facilities were shut. The remarks came amid escalating tensions and disruptions to air travel across the region. The warning appeared intended to deter governments from supporting military operations or allowing foreign forces to use their territory. It also raised concerns about broader economic and humanitarian consequences if airports close and civilian flights are suspended
