Parliament Spokesman: Iranian President Nominates Abbas Araghchi as Foreign Minister

Un nuovo NOTAM avverte i piloti di evitare di sorvolare un'area vicina alla base aerea iraniana di Nojeh ad Hamadan dalle 04:30 alle 14:30 UTC ogni giorno, dall'11 al 14 agosto 2024, a causa di sparatorie programmate. L'area interessata si estende da terra fino a 10.000 piedi sopra il livello medio del mare. L'Iran non ha chiarito quali esercitazioni militari sono previste nell'area, ma Reuters ha riferito venerdì che decine di militari russi vengono addestrati in Iran per utilizzare il sistema missilistico balistico a corto raggio Fath-360. Nel 2016, l'Iran ha concesso alla Russia il permesso di condurre operazioni aeree in Siria dalla stessa base aerea di Hamadan, e sembra probabile che il personale russo stia utilizzando di nuovo la base aerea di Nojeh, questa volta per scopi di addestramento.
