US warns airliners flying over Gulf of 'misidentification'

This topic seems to have been picked up in some of the quality media. The following is an extract from Al Jazeera:-

"US diplomats warned commercial airliners flying over the wider Gulf of the risk of being "misidentified" amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran.
The warning relayed by US diplomatic posts from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) underlined the risks the current tensions pose to a region crucial to global air travel."

As a SLF who regularly flies the length of the gulf this is a worrying development.
