Israel-Iran Conflict Escalates, Tehran International Airport Halts Inbound Flights

(CNA Tehran/Jerusalem, 8th, Comprehensive Foreign Report) The Israeli military stated today that it detected a new wave of missiles launched from Iran, marking the sixth wave of attacks since the conflict escalated yesterday. The international airport in Iran's capital, Tehran, has also suspended all inbound flights.

According to AFP, the Israeli military said: "The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) detected missiles launched from Iran towards Israeli territory a short time ago. The defense systems are operational and are intercepting this threat."
