Iran Resumes Commercial Flights After Two-Month Hiatus Amid Ongoing Tensions

In a significant move, Iran has resumed commercial flights after a long period of tension and conflict with the US and Israel. Regular flights were operated for the first time in two months on Saturday from the Imam Khomeini International Airport in the capital Tehran. It is considered a sign of returning to normalcy after the war. According to state media, the first flights from Tehran left for Istanbul in Turkey, Muscat in Oman, and Medina in Saudi Arabia. This step was taken at a time when Iran had slowly started opening its airspace after the recent ceasefire with the US. Now with the resumption of commercial flights, it is clear that the situation is gradually moving towards stabilization. However, the situation on the ground is not fully normalized. The economic and energy sectors are still seeing a huge impact. Global oil supplies and gas supplies are affected due to the ongoing tensions, especially in the Strait of Hormuz. According to state media, the diplomatic pressure has also reached the political leadership of Iran's foreign minister Abbas Abbas.
