Key news on the US-Iran conflict
Central News Agency
(Central News Agency, Cairo, 25th, Comprehensive Foreign Report) Iran resumed commercial flights today at the international airport in its capital, Tehran. This is the first time international commercial flights have taken off from Tehran since the conflict with the United States and Israel erupted about two months ago.
According to an AP report citing Iranian state television, flights bound for Istanbul, Turkey, the Omani capital Muscat, and Medina in Saudi Arabia took off today from Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport.
Following a temporary ceasefire agreement with the United States earlier this month, causing a pause in the fighting, Iran has reopened part of its airspace.
As the Tehran airport reopens, officials stated that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has met twice with Pakistan's top military and political officials since arriving in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, last night.
Meanwhile, US Envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner are expected to arrive in Islamabad today. Officials have not yet specified when they will arrive.
Iran continues to tightly control shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and attacked three vessels earlier this week. At the same time, the United States continues to blockade Iranian ports, and Trump has ordered the military to "shoot to kill" vessels suspected of laying naval mines.
