Iran state media removes report about closing airspace over Tehran after warnings of possible strike on Israel

Iran state media has removed a report that airspace over Tehran was being closed following warnings that a possible attack on Israel was imminent.

The original report cited the Iranian defense minister as saying that all air traffic had been suspended over Tehran "due to military drills."  Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more. 

The unpublished report comes after reports that the U.S. and its allies believe either Iran or its proxies are planning to strike Israel in retaliation for its airstrike in Damascus earlier this month. 

The strike killed 12 people, including Gen. Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior figure in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard who led the group's elite Quds Force in Lebanon and Syria until 2016.
