The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has said flight routes over Iraq and Lebanon should also not be used because of uncertainty surrounding the US-Iran ceasefire, Al Jazeera reports.

It advised commercial aircraft to remain cautious when flying throughout the Middle East.

The EASA said it’s extending its conflict-zone advisory for the region until July 8 after previously extending it to July 1.
