Iran has reopened Bandar Abbas International Airport in the country’s south after a four-month closure caused by damage from a joint US-Israel airstrike. According to Fars News Agency, commercial flights resumed on Saturday afternoon when a passenger aircraft from Mashhad landed at the airport, marking the restart of operations.

Bandar Abbas, the capital of Hormozgan Province, lies on the strategic Strait of Hormuz, about one thousand kilometers south of Tehran. The airport had been closed for repairs and reconstruction following the bombing that left it damaged.

Iranian authorities said that regular flights connecting Tehran, Shiraz, and Yazd will gradually resume over the coming days, restoring full domestic connectivity through the southern hub.
