Iran has resumed flights after temporarily halting them the previous evening, citing “operational restrictions,” Anadolu reports according to state television.

According to the Civil Aviation Organisation of Iran, flights from Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport have been cleared to operate after authorities ensured “suitable and safe flight conditions.” The report confirmed that all domestic and international flights have resumed.

“Currently, there are no restrictions for domestic and international flights,” the Civil Aviation Organisation stated.

The brief suspension affected flights scheduled between 9.00 pm (1730GMT) and 6.00 am (0230 GMT) on October 7, which were cancelled due to unspecified operational concerns. These restrictions have now been lifted following safety assessments.
