Iran has partially reopened its airspace following a ceasefire with Israel, bringing an end to 12 days of hostilities.

The airspace over the eastern part of the country, which had been closed since June 13 due to Israeli airstrikes and Iran’s missile retaliation, was reopened on Wednesday.

According to Iran’s transport ministry, international overflights as well as domestic and international flights to and from airports in eastern Iran are now permitted.

Reopened airports include Mashhad—which was among those reportedly targeted by Israeli strikes—along with Chabahar, Zahedan, and Jask.

However, flights over other parts of the country, including those involving the capital Tehran, remain suspended until further notice.

The ceasefire between Iran and Israel took effect on Tuesday, halting days of escalating military confrontation.
