What are all the possible reasons to do this?

Has this ever happened?

A credible threat from Iran? More likely a technical issue.

Happened in 2023 https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa-notam-statement

Jan 2023 was the most recent nationwide one.

previous time it happened right before chinese baloon made the news

it may be something similar - remove all random, but controllable sources of radar return for military to start scanning

It happened on 9/11, didn’t it?

And in 2023, which was more similar to this. This is a departure stop, planes in the air are still heading towards their destinations. This is not the same as 9/11 where flights were redirected to their nearest airports for immediate landings.
