## Prediction

Within 24 hours, commercial flight cancellations to and over Iran and the Gulf are likely to accelerate, constraining exit options for foreign nationals and complicating medical evacuations. Airlines will reroute to avoid perceived combat zones around Hormuz and potentially over western Iran, lengthening travel times and raising ticket costs, while some regional carriers may face capacity crunches on remaining safe routes. This will trap some at-risk civilians in-country, particularly dual nationals and NGO workers, and put pressure on embassies to arrange charter or military-assisted departures. Confirmation would be NOTAM expansions, major carriers suspending Iran routes, and longer flight paths on tracking sites; a joint US–Iran notification regime guaranteeing flight safety would mitigate this risk.

## Drivers

- Evacuation orders from Australia and Canada for citizens in Iran
- Explicit Iranian threats to widen war beyond region
- US claim of active military control of Hormuz and ongoing strikes
- Historic pattern of aviation rerouting around conflict zones
