 As soon as Israel launched an air strike on Iran, there was chaos in the international skies. A time-lapse video released by Flightradar24 showed how the sound of war changed the entire route within minutes. Commercial flights passing over Iran started changing routes one after the other, causing such a scene of traffic in the sky. In view of security, the planes were seen immediately leaving the Iranian territory, due to which there was complete silence in the entire airspace. This scene shows how war is not limited to the ground only, it also has a deep impact on international flights and global connectivity.

Let us tell you that the Middle East has once again been engulfed in the fire of turmoil. On Friday morning, Israel carried out extensive and well-planned air strikes on Iran under "Operation Rising Lion". These attacks were directly targeted at Iran's nuclear activities, ballistic missile centers and military command structure. After this military action, not only loud explosions were heard in the Iranian capital Tehran, but its echo was felt in global aviation routes as well.

Exodus of planes from Iranian skies

Flight tracking website Flightradar24 has released a time-lapse video, which shows how the sound of war changes the sky in a matter of moments. It can be clearly seen in the video that as soon as Israel started attacking Iran, commercial flights flying over Iran started moving away from there rapidly. Many planes changed their path in the middle of the flight and turned towards other safe routes. This scene was so impressive that many experts called it a 'scene of silence in the sky'. Immediately after the attacks, Iranian airspace was almost empty, which clearly indicated how serious the threat was.

The impact of this sudden change will not be limited to Iran or Israel. Experts believe that international flights passing through this region may now have to take longer alternative routes. This will increase the duration of the flight, there will also be problems like operational cost i.e. fuel cost and delays. This will have a direct impact especially on flights running on the Europe-Asia route.

Operation "Rising Lion": Israeli military strategy

The Israeli army—IDF (Israel Defense Forces)—confirmed this military action and said that this attack was completely planned and based on intelligence information. The operation has been named "Operation Rising Lion" . Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the operation as "essential for the security of the nation".

Netanyahu said in a statement, "We attacked the locations where Iran was rapidly working on its nuclear weapons program. We targeted those scientists who were directly involved in the bomb-making. Apart from this, precise attacks were also carried out on Iran's missile centers."

IDF claims 'high-quality intelligence'

An Israeli military spokesman claimed that they had received "high quality intelligence" which made it clear that Iran was now further along in the process of building nuclear weapons than ever before. Based on this information, this operation was launched.

Iran takes a sharp stand, accuses America

Just hours after the attack, Iran made a serious allegation against the US of supporting the Israeli attack. The Tehran government says that this attack was possible with the cooperation of the US and not Israel alone. However, former US President Donald Trump has denied any direct role. Trump admitted in a conversation with Fox News that he was informed before the attack, but he reiterated that "Iran cannot be allowed to acquire a nuclear bomb."

Israel on high alert, possible retaliatory strike

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has declared an emergency in the country. He warned that Iran can take revenge for this attack at any time through missile or drone attack. Israel's security agencies have been put on high alert, while citizens have been advised to remain vigilant.
