US strikes on Iran add to global travel disruptions, flight cancellations

The US entry into Israel's war with Iran has caused travel disruptions to pile up globally.

President Donald Trump thanked Iran for giving the US and allies early notice of Monday's retaliatory missile strike aimed at a major US military installation in the Gulf nation of Qatar. The president expressed hope that Tehran with its reprisal for the US bombardment of three key Iranian nuclear facilities had "gotten it all out of their system' and that the moment would lead to a de-escalation in the Israel-Iran war. I am pleased to report that NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done, Trump said on social media. I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured. Perhaps Iran can now proceed to Peace and Harmony in the Region, and I will enthusiastically encourage Israel to do the same."

The president's posture and our military posture has not changed, she said, suggesting that a more aggressive approach might be necessary if Iran refuses to give up their nuclear program or engage in talks."

UK evacuates nationals from Israel, urges Iran to de-escalate conflict

A Royal Air Force (RAF) flight evacuated 63 British nationals from Israel amid an escalating conflict in West Asia on Monday, as the UK called on Iran to take the off-ramp and come to the negotiating table following American strikes on its nuclear sites.
