Delta Cancels All Flights into Tel Aviv Amid Israel-Iran Conflict
Amid conflict between Israel and Iran that escalated this week, Delta has shut down one of its major international routes. On Friday, June 13, Israel's capital city of Tel Aviv was hit with missile strikes from Iran in retaliation for Israel's strikes against Iran on Thursday. As conflict continues to escalate between the two nations, Delta Air Lines has made the decision to stop all flights from New York-JFK to Tel Aviv until at least August 31. "Delta has paused flights to Tel Aviv (TLV) from New York-JFK through August 31 in response to the current conflict in the region," Delta wrote in a statement on Friday. "Customers impacted by flight cancellations will receive notifications via the Fly Delta app and contact information listed in their reservation as these cancellations are processed in Delta's system and may contact Delta or their travel agent for rebooking options." This move comes after Delta had just resumed the route at the end of May after previously pausing service to Tel Aviv due to conflict in the area. While the decision makes sense given the danger it would present to travelers, it is a significant change for travelers as the Tel Aviv airport is one of the biggest hubs in the Middle East and could put a wrench in travel plans going forward. Delta has indicated that it will continue to monitor the situation as it looks to prioritize the safety of its customers. "The safety of our customers and crew remains our top priority. Delta is continuously monitoring the evolving security environment and assessing our operations based on security guidance and intelligence reports. Updates will be communicated as needed," Delta's statement continued. It's likely that the airline's service to Tel Aviv will be put on hiatus until the conflict between Israel and Iran comes to an end.

Both the S&P 500 (SPX) and the Nasdaq 100 (NDX) closed the Friday trading session down by over 1% as the Israel-Iran conflict has escalated with Iran striking back at Israel. Rising geopolitical uncertainty benefits the Volatility Index (VIX), which finished with a sharp 19.7% jump. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter This morning, President Trump said that Israel's attack on Iran could actually benefit the market. 'I think ultimately, it would be great for the market because Iran will not have a nuclear weapon,' said Trump in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. 'It will be great for the market —should be the greatest thing ever for the market. Iran won't have a nuclear weapon that was a great threat to humanity.' On Truth Social, Trump urged Iran to sign a deal that would end its nuclear program. Crude oil futures jumped by about 7% today as the conflict threatens disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz, which acts as a passage for nearly 20% of global oil shipments. To increase domestic production, Trump wants U.S. oil refiners to blend an all-time high of 24.02 billion gallons of biofuel into conventional fuels in 2026. Biofuels are an alternative to fossil fuels that are created from organic matter, like algae and crops. Meanwhile, consumer sentiment is on the rise, erasing six months of consecutive drops. The University of Michigan's preliminary June Index of Consumer Sentiment tallied in at 60.5, beating the estimate for 53.5 and rising from 52.2 in May. Year-ahead and long-run inflation expectations also fell. Still, consumers remain worried about the stock market, the labor market, and business conditions, with confidence levels in these areas well below where they were six months ago. On the trade front, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that the U.S. and UK have made progress in reaching a final trade deal, saying 'There's nothing unexpected in the implementation, and so we haven't got any hiccups or obstacles.' The S&P 500 ended the week with a 0.41% loss while the Nasdaq 100 fell by 0.57%.
