flag Iran closed airspace near the Strait of Hormuz Jan. 27–29 for live-fire drills amid U.S. military buildup and rising tensions.

flag Iran has closed airspace near the Strait of Hormuz from January 27 to 29 for live-fire military exercises within a five-nautical-mile radius up to 25,000 feet, according to a Notice to Airmen. flag The drills, described as routine by Iran, come amid rising tensions with the U.S., which has deployed an aircraft carrier strike group, fighter jets, and air-defense systems to the region. flag The U.S. conducted readiness exercises to demonstrate rapid response capabilities, while Iran warned any attack would trigger an "all-out war." flag The Strait, vital for global oil and LNG trade, remains a flashpoint, though analysts deem a full closure unlikely due to Iran’s own reliance on the route. flag Regional allies including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar are working with the U.S. to prevent escalation.
