Iran resumes commercial flights from Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport after ceasefire
Commercial flights restart in Tehran as a US-Iran ceasefire pause allows negotiators to regroup and push talks forward.
Commercial flights resumed on April 25 at Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport, marking the first time large-scale passenger service has operated since the conflict with the United States intensified two months ago.
The move comes as a ceasefire between Iran and the United States remains in place, after President Donald Trump unilaterally extended a two-week ceasefire on April 21 to give negotiators more time to reconvene.
Officials cautioned that while flights are resuming, the broader conflict and regional tensions continue to loom, and the pause is to allow talks to advance rather than signal a full normalization of relations.
Observers say the aviation restart could ease travel and trade for ordinary travelers and businesses, and could help gauge how long the ceasefire holds. The next steps depend on developments in ongoing negotiations.
Negotiators are expected to reconvene soon as the pause extends, with the coming days likely to reveal whether the current respite becomes a longer-term truce or faces renewed pressures.
