Iran's airspace will remain closed until April 12.

According to a source in Middle Eastern air traffic control cited by Report, Iranian skies are expected to remain restricted to all flights until approximately 08:30 UTC on April 12.

The source noted that exceptions to the closure may include government, military, and medical flights, as well as search-and-rescue operations conducted under special authorization from the civil aviation authority.
