Pentagon Announces Seventh U.S. Death in War With Iran  The New York Times

Turkey extends Mideast flight cancellations due to war Flights to Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan by Turkish Airlines, AJet, Pegasus, and SunExpress have been cancelled until the end of 13 March, Turkish Transport minister Abdulkadir Uraloglu said on Sunday. He said in a statement on X that flights planned to Doha, Dubai, Kuwait, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and Dammam have also been cancelled until the end of 13 March. Pegasus has removed Iran flights from its planning until 12 March, and Turkish Airlines has done so until 20 March, he noted.

As hundreds of thousands of tourists in the Middle East wait anxiously for news of scant repatriation flights, a smaller group of ultra-wealthy people have sought a more exclusive way out: private jets. In four days last week SHY Aviation fielded some 200 requests for 700 people in the Middle East to charter its planes, which carry up to 12 passengers. Overall, the company estimates, some 30,000 people have tried to evacuate the area by private jets hired through SHY or its rivals. Fees for such flights have soared to three times their usual rate, driven by increased demand for limited aircraft, added risk insurance and the need to pay crew more for flying through a war zone. submitted by /u/TimesandSundayTimes to r/MiddleEastNews [link] [comments]

A new app, which went viral in the country within hours of launching, uses statistical analysis of recent air raid alerts in specific areas to guide users on the optimal time of day to bathe, while limiting the chances of having to run for cover mid-wash.
