World ( The cow news digital ) Iran has officially reopened its main airports in the capital city of Tehran following a temporary shutdown during heightened tensions with the United States and Israel. The decision marks a significant step toward restoring normal civilian and commercial air operations in the country after days of disruption caused by regional conflict.
According to the Iranian news agency ISNA, the Civil Aviation Organization confirmed that operations at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport and Mehrabad Airport have resumed. Both airports had been suspended as a precautionary measure during the period of escalating military and political tensions in the region.
Authorities stated that the reopening of these key aviation hubs is part of a phased plan to restore full air connectivity across the country. The Civil Aviation Organization further announced that several other regional airports will also be reopened gradually, depending on security assessments and operational readiness.
The airports expected to resume services in the coming phases include Urmia, Kermanshah, Abadan, Shiraz, Kerman, Rasht, Yazd, Zahedan, Gorgan, and Birjand. Officials indicated that safety remains the top priority, and all necessary security protocols will be strictly implemented before allowing full-scale flight operations.
Iranian authorities emphasized that the temporary closure of airports was a preventive step taken during a period of uncertainty and potential risk to civil aviation. With the situation now stabilizing, the government has decided to restore normal travel and logistics operations to support both domestic and international connectivity.
The reopening is expected to ease travel restrictions for thousands of passengers and also support cargo movement, which had been significantly affected during the shutdown period. Aviation analysts believe that restoring airport operations will help reduce economic pressure and improve trade flow in the region.
While tensions between Iran and Western powers remain high, officials have stated that civilian infrastructure will continue to be prioritized and protected from any further disruption. The gradual reopening of airports signals an attempt by Iranian authorities to return to routine governance and economic activity despite ongoing geopolitical challenges.
Further updates are expected as additional airports complete safety inspections and resume operations in the coming days.
