Iran has partially reopened its airspace after reaching a ceasefire with Israel, ending nearly two weeks of intense conflict. According to state media, flights over the eastern half of the country are now permitted, both for international overflights and for flights with destinations or departures in eastern Iranian airports.
The airspace closure, in effect since June 13, followed a series of retaliatory strikes between Israel and Iran. The ceasefire, which began Tuesday, led to the reopening of key airports such as Mashhad—reportedly hit by Israeli forces—along with Chabahar, Zahedan, and Jask.
Transport ministry spokesperson Majid Akhavan stated that while the eastern airspace is now accessible, flights over other parts of the country, including Tehran, remain suspended until further notice.
