US banning civil aviation operators from flying over Iraq, Iran, and the Gulf of Oman

The US Federal Aviation Administration has said it would ban American airline carriers from operating in the airspace over Iraq, Iran, the Gulf of Oman and the waters between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

The announcement comes after Iran fired more than a dozen ballistic missiles targeting at least two military bases hosting US-led coalition personnel in Iraq.
