Austrian Airlines has suspended its flights to Iran due to security concerns, the airline announced on Saturday. This decision comes amid ongoing demonstrations in Iran against the government, described as a brutal Islamist regime by the airline.

The statement from Austrian Airlines indicated that the suspension is a precautionary measure in light of the current situation in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The airline did not specify when flights might resume.

For further context, protests in Iran have been escalating, reflecting widespread discontent with the ruling authorities. Similar situations have been reported in various regions, including heavy clashes at the Golestan Intelligence Headquarters in Ahvaz, as previously reported.

As the situation develops, Austrian Airlines will continue to monitor the security landscape in Iran.
