Zelenskyy: Long-Range Strikes Effective, Defense Critical; Iran Halts Tehran Flights
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy says long-range strikes are effective but ballistic missile defense remains critical, and Europe must maintain a strong role in peace talks. Meanwhile, Iran has suspended all flights at Imam Khomeini Airport until further notice.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy remarked that Ukraine's long-range strikes are achieving results, though the country still urgently needs better ballistic missile defense. He spoke following a meeting with leaders from the E3 group (France, Germany, UK), stressing that Europe should keep a prominent role in any future peace negotiations.
Separately, Iranian authorities suspended all flights at Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport effective immediately, with no specific timeline for resumption. The reason for the suspension was not stated in the initial report.
