PARIS, June 23, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Global airlines have suspended or reduced 
flights in the Middle East as the conflict between Israel and Iran rages and 
the United States joins the fight.

The US carried out strikes against Iranian nuclear sites overnight Saturday 
to Sunday after over a week of deadly missile exchanges between Israel and 
Iran.

Here is the latest airline situation:

those routes.

Air France halted flights to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates until 
at least Tuesday inclusive, the airline said.
