Iran has lifted restrictions on air traffic following the recent military escalation with Israel.

“As the necessary security conditions have been met and the required consultations with the relevant authorities have taken place, the flight restrictions have been lifted,” Abusar Shirudi, head of the Civil Aviation Authority, told the Tasnim news agency on Monday.

“The country’s aviation activities are gradually returning to normal operations,” he added.

Following fresh mutual airstrikes by Israel and Iran, the country had closed its entire airspace in the afternoon.
