Iran has reopened its main Imam Khomeini and Mehrabad airports in the capital Tehran, the country’s aviation authority says, after closures caused by the weeks-long war with the United States and Israel, according to AFP.

“Authorisation for passenger flights at Imam Khomeini International Airport and Mehrabad Airport has been issued”, the Civil Aviation Organisation has said in a statement, according to the ISNA news agency.

It adds that passenger flights from 10 airports across Iran “will also be possible from Saturday”.
