Tehran’s international airport has reopened, and flights carrying hajj pilgrims from Saudi Arabia have landed, Iranian news agencies reported early Tuesday.

The deputy head of airport operations at Imam Khomeini Airport Company announced the resumption of flights to Imam Khomeini Airport and the flights of pilgrims,” the Mehr news agency reported.

Tehran’s international airport suspended all incoming flights on Sunday after Iranian missile strikes on Israel.

Israel retaliated with strikes of its own.

It was the latest closure for the airport, one of two serving the Iranian capital, which had only reopened in April after being shut for weeks during the Middle East war.
