8, 2026 President Trump has reportedly decided against using the new $400 million Air Force One to fly out of Turkey amid ongoing tensions related to the Iran conflict. The New York Post suggested that the decision was influenced by security concerns, particularly the vulnerability of the aircraft to potential enemy fire, despite the plane’s recent debut at the 36th NATO Summit in Ankara. This development comes as the war with Iran enters its fourth month, although recent reports indicate that Trump has called off planned military strikes against Iran following discussions with Iranian officials.

Market pricing indicates that the likelihood of a full Iranian airspace closure by the end of July has decreased, reflected in a drop from 27% to 22% in this timeframe. The current geopolitical situation, including the cancellation of planned strikes, appears to be influencing market participants’ views on the probability of airspace restrictions.

What to Watch Observers should monitor any statements from the Civil Aviation Organization of Iran or Iranian State Television regarding airspace closures.
