Iran issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) alert late Wednesday, closing airspace to all flights except international flights with prior permission from the country.

The NOTAM will be in effect for just over two hours.

Flight tracking data showed multiple planes were either denied entry to Iran or rerouted around the country, according to the Flight Radar 24 website.

Minutes later, the UK Foreign Office (FCDO) issued an advisory recommending against "all but essential travel to Israel."

"There is a heightened risk of regional tension," officials wrote in the advisory. "Escalation could lead to travel disruption and other unanticipated impacts."

A U.S. official told Reuters on Wednesday the Department of War was moving personnel amid rising tensions.

"All the signals are that a U.S. attack is imminent, but that is also how this administration behaves to keep everyone on their toes. Unpredictability is part of the strategy," a Western military official told the outlet.

Hours before the NOTAM alert was issued, President Donald Trump told reporters from the Oval Office the killing of protesters in Iran had ended.

"We've been told that the killing in Iran is stopping, and it's stopped and stopping, and there's no plan for executions or an execution," Trump said. "So, I've been told that on good authority. We'll find out about."

When asked about potential military action against the country, Trump said, "We're going to watch and see what the process is."

"We were given a very good, very good statement by people that are aware of what's going on," Trump said.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s regime has recently come under fire, with reports claiming more than 3,000 people have been killed amid nationwide protests over economic grievances and political repression. 

Trump announced on Tuesday he canceled all meetings with Iranian officials until the killings stopped.

Marcus Freeman has been a hot name around the NFL market, despite not taking an interview with anybody.

Nine head coaching gigs are open, with the most recent being the Pittsburgh Steelers' after Mike Tomlin stepped down Tuesday.

With Freeman's success in South Bend, it's understandable why he'd be a topic of conversation in NFL circles.

But it does not seem like he wants to be.

When asked about the job opportunities in the NFL, Freeman reiterated his intention to stay with Notre Dame.

"I don't need to come out with a statement every time one of these job openings happens. Everything I want and everything I need can be achieved right here at Notre Dame," Freeman told reporters Wednesday.

Just before the new year, when rumors were hot and heavy, Freeman took to X to reaffirm his commitment to the Fighting Irish.

"2026… run it back. Go Irish," he posted to X, along with a shamrock emoji.

Earlier this week, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Freeman "still looms large in the NFL coaching carousel." John Harbaugh and Kevin Stefanski are considered the most highly touted candidates.

Freeman joined Notre Dame in 2021 after Brian Kelly's departure to LSU. He has gone 43-12 and got to the National Championship game last season.

The Irish narrowly missed out on the College Football Playoff this year in a controversial decision by the committee.
