First Departures Since Start Of War With US And Israel

Commercial flights have resumed from Tehran’s international airport for the first time since the start of the Iran war, with passengers departing for destinations in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. The move follows a two-week cease-fire with the US, brokered by Pakistan, which has enabled the reopening of the airport. Iranian authorities have started talks with foreign airlines to re-establish routes, with a phased approach to increasing flights, prioritizing airports on the eastern side of the country due to safety concerns. The development was reported by the New York Post.
