Some Airlines Cancel, Change Flights Due To U.S./Iran Tensions

Airlines like Air France, Singapore Airlines, and Lufthansa are rerouting flights near the Middle East due to rising tensions between Iran and the US. This follows Iran's missile strike on US bases in Iraq, a retaliation for the US airstrike that killed General Qasem Soleimani. The FAA has imposed flight restrictions for US airlines over Iraq, Iran, and nearby waters. Experts warn of risks to commercial flights, and rerouted flights will incur higher fuel costs.
