About this live air traffic monitor: This dashboard tracks civilian and military aircraft movements over Iran, the Persian Gulf, and surrounding airspace using publicly available ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) data. Aircraft transmit their position, altitude, and identity every second — this data is picked up by ground receivers worldwide and aggregated into the live map above.

Since the outbreak of the 2026 US-Iran conflict on February 28, Iranian airspace has been largely closed to civilian traffic, with commercial airlines rerouting flights through Egypt, Turkey, and the southern Arabian Peninsula. US military aircraft operations are visible departing from and returning to coalition bases in Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain. For real-time strike data, visit our 3D strike map.

Aircraft that have disabled their ADS-B transponders (such as stealth or sensitive military flights) will not appear on this map. What you see represents the subset of regional air traffic that is voluntarily broadcasting its position. This is open-source intelligence (OSINT) — no operational or classified information is displayed.
