Iran resumes commercial flights from Tehran's international airport

CAIRO: Iran resumed commercial flights from Tehran's international airport on Saturday for the first time since the conflict with the US and Israel began about two months ago.

Iran's state-run television reported that flights took off from the Imam Khomeini International Airport in Tehran bound for Istanbul, Oman's capital of Muscat and the Saudi city of Medina.

Flightradar24, a flight tracking platform, showed that at least three Istanbul-bound flights departed Saturday morning.

Iran partly reopened its airspace earlier this month amid a ceasefire with the US, which halted fighting between the two countries.
