How volatile is the situation in Iran? Flights operating normally despite internet disruptions

Majid Akhavan, spokesperson for Iran’s Civil Aviation Organisation, says all flights are ā€œoperating normally and without problemsā€ and airport services are fully functioning.

Akhavan said travelers concerned about the status of flights because of recent internet-related issues ā€œcan obtain up-to-date information directly from airport sourcesā€, the official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported.

A number of foreign air carriers have stopped flights to the country in recent days after protests broke out two weeks ago.

Widespread unrest, killings and arrests in Iran during protests sparked by a collapse in the local currency.

The leadership says it will listen to demonstrators – but ā€œriotersā€ face the death penalty. As the United States warns against a bloody crackdown, how volatile is the situation?
