Air India flights today avoided Iranian airspace as tensions soared in the Middle East after Iran warned of a retaliatory attack on Israel.

Sources say Air India flights to Europe took longer routes to avoid Iranian airspace.

US and other intelligence assessments have said the retaliation could come as soon as Sunday. The unprecedented attack could trigger an all-out regional war.

The ‘shadow war’ between the two Middle Eastern countries heated up when an Israeli airstrike hit the Iran consulate in Damascus, killing seven people, including two generals.

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had earlier this week warned that Israel “must be punished and will be punished”, days after one of his advisers said Israeli embassies are “no longer safe”.

Countries including India, France and Russia have warned their citizens against travel to the region, already on edge over the war in Gaza, now in its seventh month.

Since Iran viewed the embassy strike as equivalent to an attack on its own territory, sources say, a direct attack on Israeli soil by Iran itself rather than a proxy such as Hezbollah in Lebanon was a real possibility.

US President Joe Biden said he was expecting Iran to attempt to strike Israel in the short term and pledged “ironclad” support for Washington’s top regional ally despite diplomatic tensions over Israel’s military conduct in Gaza. “We are devoted to the defense of Israel, we will support Israel, we will help defend Israel and Iran will not succeed,” he said.

A defence official said the Pentagon was “moving additional assets to the region to bolster regional deterrence efforts and increase force protection for US forces.”
