Flights on all routes have been cancelled until further notice.

I call for prudence and restraint from actions that could jeopardize the safety & security of nuclear & other radioactive materials.
Inspectors are safe and continue their vital work.
My message to Iran is clear: massive escalating reactions must not continue. These must stop immediately. Only then can we open the possibility of a peaceful evolution in the Middle East.
Our defensive and offensive capabilities are fully mobilized.
If the regime in Iran were to make the mistake of beginning a new round of escalation, we will be obligated to respond. Our message is clear: All those who threaten the State of Israel and seek to drag the region into a wider escalation will pay a heavy price.
I would like to inform you at this late hour that the IDF is currently conducting precision strikes against military targets in Iran. These operations are in response to the Iranian regime's continued attacks against Israel in recent months and are being carried out under the direction of the political leadership.
Iran attacked Israel twice, including in locations that endangered civilians, and has paid the price for it.
We targeted Iran's surface-to-air missile arrays and Iranian aerial capabilities that were intended to restrict Israel's aerial freedom of operation in Iran.
Not all objectives can be achieved through military operations alone ... to realise our moral duty to bring our hostages home, we will have to make painful concessions.
The attack in Iran was precise and powerful, and it achieved all its objectives.
Iran attacked Israel with hundreds of ballistic missiles and this attack failed.
This regime must understand a simple principle: whoever hurts us, we hurt him.
Israel's enemies know this morning that the IDF [Israel Defence Forces] is strong and can attack powerfully and reach anywhere.
The decision not to attack strategic and economic targets in Iran was wrong.
We could and should have made Iran pay a much higher price.
