🔶 Cancellation of American flights; There is no evidence of Iran's involvement.
America's Federal Aviation Administration issued permission to resume flights on Friday evening, November 13, after several hours of a nationwide flight suspension due to a disruption in air traffic control communication systems.
US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that old air traffic control equipment, including routers and communication systems, had been shut down due to the large volume of data. He emphasized the necessity of modernizing the country's aviation infrastructure.
Markvin Mullin, the United States' secretary of homeland security, also said that investigations had not shown any signs of ground-based cyber attacks or sabotage. But he added that research is still ongoing to determine the exact cause of the disorder.
The US Secretary of Homeland Security said that no such signs were seen regarding the possible involvement of the Islamic Republic of Iran in disrupting the flights. The widespread disruption has caused the cancellation and delay of thousands of flights across the United States, and officials have warned that it will take time for the flight schedule to return to normal.
