STOCKHOLM, March 6 (Reuters) - ⁠Denmark's government said on Friday ⁠that the ongoing turmoil in the ‌Middle East may prevent some overseas votes in the country's March 24 general election from ​arriving in time to be ⁠counted.

Global air travel ⁠remains severely disrupted after the war in ⁠Iran ‌forced the closure of key Middle Eastern hubs including ⁠Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi, leaving passengers ​and ‌cargo stranded.
