ALBAWABA - The temporary restriction on flying over Iran has ended, and several flights were spotted over Tehran, Flightradar24 reported on Thursday.
Iran restricted its airspace to commercial flights for several hours early Thursday, over increasing tensions with the U.S. amid anti-regime protests across Iran.
On the other hand. U.S President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he has not ruled out military action against Tehran.
The United Nations Security Council will hold a meeting today at 3 p.m., regarding the situation in Iran, according to the Council's schedule.
The meeting has been requested by the United States, according to a spokesperson for the UN.

How many protesters were killed in Iran?
Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi blamed Israel and foreign "terrorist elements" for what is happening in the country.
Araghchi also denied accusations that security forces are carrying out mass killings to suppress demonstrations, he said during a contentious interview with Fox News host Brett Baier.
The death toll varied between Iranian official sources and opposition data. At least 12,000 people were killed between January 8 and 9, Iran International's editorial board announced based on a review of sources and medical data.
Araghchi rejected figures cited by opposition figures and exiled Prince Pahlavi that more than 12,000 were killed during anti-Islamic regime protests. The foreign minister told Fox News that "only hundreds" were killed.
