Iran reopens main airports in capital Tehran
Iran has reopened its main Imam Khomeini and Mehrabad airports in the capital Tehran on Monday, the country’s aviation authority says, after closures caused by the weeks-long war with the United States and Israel.
“Authorization for passenger flights at Imam Khomeini International Airport and Mehrabad Airport has been issued” from Monday, the Civil Aviation Organization says in a statement, according to ISNA news agency.
It adds that passenger flights from 10 airports across Iran “will also be possible from Saturday.”
