Assuming that the insurer of this aircraft is as risk-averse as any other insurance company that I'm familiar with, then that IS the proverbial elephant-in-the-parlor.
Just today, the FAA has prohibited US carriers from overflying Iran, and other world carriers have followed suit.
I'm sure that there aren't many aircrews out there who would be terribly keen on overflying some chunk of real estate where bullets are going back-and-forth.
