The Secretary of Transportation of the United States, Sean Duffy, said at a press conference at the White House about the reason for the suspension of flights in this country: "Due to this instability, out of an abundance of caution and to ensure the safety of American passengers, we have issued an order to suspend flights." He rejects the rumors about the cause of the incident, adding: "We are dealing with a very old air traffic control system that operates on the basis of (old) analog communication. "Our switches and routers became overloaded with data and were sending inconsistent information, so we shut down the system." Addressing Congress, Duffy said: "This is not a partisan or Republican issue, but a Democrat issue. "Give us the financial resources to build a modern and fully advanced air traffic control system." In response to a question about the possibility of Iran's involvement in this disturbance, the US Secretary of Homeland Security, Marquin Mullin, said that "we don't see any such sign".
