Iran Airport Reopens, But Airspace Chaos Continues!
Are you ready for the aviation chaos that has been going on for two weeks? The Shahid Hashemi Nejad Airport in Mashhad, eastern Iran, has finally reopened for international flights after a 13-day complete shutdown. But don’t celebrate just yet! Other airports in Tehran, such as Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini, as well as airports in the north, south, and west of the country, remain closed for international flights.
Stranded Pilgrims and Flight Chaos
About 12 Iranian pilgrims remain stranded in Medina, Saudi Arabia, unable to return home due to the flight suspension. Thousands of Iranians worldwide remain stuck in various countries as air traffic has not normalized.
Israel and Iran: A Conflict Paralyzing the Region
It all started with Israeli attacks on Iranian targets, triggering a series of arrests in Iran. Iranian authorities have arrested several people in the last 12 days accused of collaborating with Israel, calling them “Israeli mercenaries.” Three men were even executed on charges of espionage and cooperation with Mossad.
Flights Avoid Iranian Airspace
Commercial flights across the Middle East continue to avoid Iranian airspace. Airports in Dubai and Amman report cancellations and delays, while major airlines like United Airlines and British Airways have suspended flights to and from the region.
Trump, Netanyahu, and Behind-the-Scenes Drama
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held intense talks about stopping attacks on Iran. Trump reportedly demanded the withdrawal of Israeli planes and a halt to attacks, while Netanyahu was initially stubborn. Eventually, Netanyahu had to pull back the planes, but only after Trump threatened to take credit for the ceasefire.
Iranian Supreme Leader Declares Victory
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, declared Iran’s victory in this conflict and said Iran “slapped America.” He threatened to target U.S. bases again if the U.S. continues attacks. Khamenei also emphasized that Iran’s nuclear program is purely civilian and that a fatwa forbids nuclear weapons.
What’s Next?
Although the airport in Mashhad is reopened, the situation in the region remains tense. Flights are still chaotic, and political tensions between Iran, Israel, and the U.S. persist. Will the ceasefire hold, or is this just a pause before a new conflict?
