CAIRO -- Egypt’s Civil Aviation Ministry said Wednesday it has ordered Egyptian airlines to avoid Iranian airspace for three hours the following day after a notice from Tehran to do so because of military exercises.

The warning comes amid soaring tensions in the region following last week’s assassination of Hamas’ leader in Tehran. The Egyptian ministry said the warning came in a notice sent by Iran to all commercial airlines.

The ministry said the ban from Iranian airspace was to last for three hours, 4:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. on Thursday. Iran’s warning also covered three hours earlier on Wednesday, the ministry added.

Speaking to Iran’s ISNA news agency, the head of Iran’s international airport in Tehran, Saeed Chalandari, denied reports of a warning against entering the airspace of western Iran, but it was not clear if that applied to the entire country.

“Military Drills”, wink-wink!

That’s as bad as the early SNL
“Knock Knock!”
Who’s there?
“Pizza Man!”
But, I didn’t order any pizza, and besides, it’s 2.30 in the morning!”

“It’s or 2.30 am Special FREE PIZZA!”

Free?.. Just one minute, while I undo this three way doorlock!

Even the mullahs can’t be that stupid. Can’t be ignored, but likely a feint.

Since the earliest threat Iran’s attack “could come at any moment” and “we’ll break away if the Iranian counter strike against Israel happens. It could be tonight.”

Iranian military honcho: “I would have attacked already but that strongman they’ve got over there, Joe Biden, sent me a message “don’t”. That sent a chill through me. I was shaking. So I’m putting it off. I’m only human.”
