Un nou NOTAM îi avertizează pe piloți să evite să zboare deasupra unei zone din apropierea bazei aeriene iraniene Nojeh din Hamadan, zilnic, între orele 04:30 și 14:30 UTC, în perioada 11 august - 14 august 2024, din cauza focuri de armă programate. Zona afectată se extinde de la sol până la 10.000 de picioare deasupra nivelului mediu al mării. Iranul nu a precizat clar ce exerciții militare sunt planificate să aibă loc în zonă, dar Reuters a raportat vineri că zeci de militari ruși sunt antrenați în Iran pentru a utiliza sistemul de rachete balistice cu rază apropiată Fath-360. În 2016, Iranul a acordat Rusiei permisiunea de a desfășura operațiuni aeriene în Siria de la aceeași bază aeriană din Hamadan și pare un scenariu probabil ca personalul rus să folosească din nou baza aeriană Nojeh, de data aceasta în scopuri de instruire.
