Why? Don't you need permission to fly over a country?
The main problem though, is that Emirates has had to divert their flight plans over Iran, because it unsafe to fly over Iraq.

” ISISISIL “
ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham) started in Iraq.
When they went into Syria, they needed a more inclusive of Syria name, hence ISIL, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
Now they have declared themselves the leaders of all muslims of the world and call them simply IS, Islamic State.

If you thought Jimmah royally screwed things up with the American hostages in the late 70s, just wait to see what Traitorobama does now.
To: Velveeta
The Persians should have had three historical events with the U.S. One, the take over of our embassy, followed by massive bombing (think Arclight). Two, the holding of hostages for 444 days, followed by the nuking of Nantez. Three, on 9/12/2001 the nuking of Qom.
Sorry, that is what war is about.

Barry will see it in tomorrow’s paper.

'New routes will take planes to Europe via Saudi Arabia, the Red Sea and Egypt, which will add up to 45 minutes to flight times, or over Iran.'

after he finishes his round of golf perhaps he will file some United Nations paperwork to build a coalition to contain this as a manageable problem.
