Iranian authorities announced this Monday the reopening of their airspace, after the country launched several waves of projectiles against Israel, all of them neutralized by its air defense systems, and after subsequent retaliatory bombings carried out by Israel against Tehran and other points in Iranian territory.
The Civil Aviation Organization has indicated that air operations are returning to normal. "With the necessary safety conditions and coordination with the competent institutions, flight restrictions have been lifted and aviation activity in the country is recovering to normal as planned," the body stated in an official statement.
Before this announcement, Iran had proceeded to close its airspace in the western part of the country and had reported the suspension of all flights departing from or arriving at its airports.
In parallel, Iraq and Syria had also decreed the closure of their airspace and, like Iran, have already resumed normal operations.
The Iranian Armed Forces declared this Monday the conclusion of their attacks against Israel, following the launch of missiles in response to the bombing carried out on Sunday by the Israeli Army on the capital of Lebanon, Beirut. However, they have warned that they will adopt "much harsher and more crushing measures" if Israel "continues its aggressions," also on Lebanese territory.
This move comes after the President of the United States, Donald Trump, demanded an "immediate" cessation of hostilities from Israel and Iran. The White House tenant is trying to preserve the ceasefire agreed with Tehran two months ago, in a context marked by the escalation of the conflict and the recent exchange of bombings between the two countries.
