The airspace conditions over Iran, Iraq and the neighbouring region have impacted flight schedules in India after Israel launched a pre-emptive strike against Iran on Friday.

Taking to X, Delhi Airport said, “Delhi airport operations are running smoothly. However, due to evolving airspace conditions over Iran, Iraq and the neighbouring region, some flight schedules have been impacted."

The airport authority then requested the passengers to contact their respective airlines for the latest updates regarding their flights. “We strongly urge all passengers to rely on official sources for accurate and up-to-date information," posted Delhi Airport.

Meanwhile, the Embassy of India in Iran issued an advisory for Indian nationals and persons of Indian origin residing in the country amid the current situation.

“In view of the current situation in Iran, all Indian nationals and persons of Indian origin in Iran are requested to remain vigilant, avoid all unnecessary movements, follow the Embassy’s Social Media accounts & observe safety protocols as advised by local authorities," The Embassy said in the advisory.

The advisory comes as Israel launched a pre-emptive strike against Iran, according to Israel Defence Minister Israel Katz. Following this, an emergency situation was declared across the country due to Israel’s action in Iran.

Katz said that he signed "a special order, according to which a special state of emergency will be imposed in the home front throughout the entire State of Israel."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday announced the launch of a large-scale military campaign, Operation Rising Lion, aimed at dismantling what he described as an existential threat posed by Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.

Netanyahu said Israel had struck multiple high-value Iranian targets in a decisive first strike.

"Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel’s very survival," he said, adding that the mission would continue "for as many days as it takes to remove this threat."
