TEHRAN – Iran announced on Wednesday the partial reopening of its airspace in the eastern part of the country, on the second day of a ceasefire between Iran and the Zionist entity, which came into effect Tuesday morning following a proposal by U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Airspace over eastern Iran has been reopened to international overflights as well as domestic and international flights to and from airports located in the eastern region,” said Majid Akhavan, spokesperson for the Ministry of Transport, as quoted by the official IRNA news agency.
He added that Mashhad Airport is among the reopened airports, along with those in Chabahar, Zahedan, and Jask.
Domestic and international flights in other regions of Iran, including the capital Tehran, “remain suspended until further notice,” he noted.
Iran had closed its airspace on June 13 after the Zionist entity launched attacks on Iranian nuclear, military, and residential sites, resulting in the martyrdom of numerous civilians.
Iranian military forces responded immediately with counterattacks. The Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched several waves of missile strikes in retaliation for the Zionist aggression.
