Tehran’s international airport has reopened and flights carrying hajj pilgrims from Saudi Arabia have landed, AFP reports, citing Iranian news agencies.

“The deputy head of airport operation of Imam Khomeini Airport Company announced the resumption of flights to Imam Khomeini Airport and the flights of pilgrims,” Mehr news agency reports.

Tehran’s international airport has suspended all incoming flights after Iranian missile strikes on Israel. Israel retaliated with strikes of its own.
