Iran Announces Opening Of Its Airspace After War
Iran announced Thursday that it has reopened its airspace, including over Tehran, after closing it on June 13 due to the war with Israel, according to state media.
"Tehran's Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini international airports, as well as those in the north, east, west and south of the country, have been reopened and are ready to operate flights," the official IRNA news agency reported.
Domestic and international flights from all airports across the country -- except those in Isfahan and Tabriz -- will operate between 5:00 am and 6:00 pm, authorities said.
Flights from those cities will resume as soon as the necessary infrastructure is in place, according to IRNA.
Iran closed its skies entirely last month after Israel launched a wave of air strikes, prompting Iranian retaliatory missile fire.
A ceasefire between the two foes came into effect on June 24.
The country had already reopened airspace in eastern Iran and expanded access for international overflights following the truce.

Trump boasts effectiveness of airstrikes on Iranian sites, says they pushed Tehran to talks
Washington, July 4 (UNI) US President Donald Trump, boasting the effectiveness of the US military's airstrikes on June 22 on Iranian nuclear sites said today that Washington's attacks on Iran had effectively ended the hostile rhetoric being peddled from Tehran, pushing the country towards talks. "We just did a really great job. And then, of course, you cap it off with the hit, the perfect hit in Iran, where they were talking awfully badly, you know, death to America, death to Israel. They were talking awfully badly," Trump said at a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, reports Iran International. "They're not talking badly anymore, to be honest with you. And we might even meet with them and see," he added. "They want to meet, they want to meet, and we'll see if we can do something. But they want to meet. I think they want to meet very badly." Earlier in the day, Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews that "Iran does want to speak. And I think they'd like to speak to me. And it's time that they do. "We're not looking to hurt them. We're looking to let them be a country again. They got beat up and, you know, they were they were both exhausted, frankly. But Iran really got beat up. And I think they want to meet. I mean, I know they want to meet. And if it's necessary, I'll do it." Trump made the remarks after his phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, where the two sides discussed Iran and Ukraine, though not much settlement has been made on that issue, Trump said later. Washington also intensified its economic attack on Iran, with the US Treasury imposing strong sanctions on Thursday against a network that it claimed smuggles Iranian oil disguised as Iraqi oil and, on a Hezbollah -controlled financial institution. The Treasury Department alleged that a network of companies run by Iraqi-British national Salim Ahmed Said, had been buying and shipping billions of dollars worth of Iranian oil disguised as, or blended with, Iraqi oil since at least 2020, the department said. They were the first round of sanctions imposed against Iran following the US and Israeli strikes against Iranian military and nuclear facilities, post the ongoing ceasefire. UNI ANV PRS

Teacher whose name gets misprinted as ‘Kutta', barks at government official to get his name corrected
Small clerical errors can lead to long, frustrating fights that feel almost an endless road for some people. For those whose documents carry incorrect information, the process of getting corrections done can be both emotionally draining and time-consuming. Despite repeated visits and formal applications, many citizens are left unheard, shuffled between desks, and caught in red tape. A recent incident from Bankura, West Bengal, has gone viral after a man, frustrated by repeated administrative indifference, but surprisingly he took an unusual form of protest. His name had been embarrassingly misprinted on an official document, and after multiple failed attempts to fix it, he decided to take a stand in the most attention-grabbing way possible. Srikanti Kumar Dutta, a qualified teacher from Bankura, West Bengal, had been trying for weeks to get a mistake on his ration card corrected. Instead of his actual last name, the document labeled him as Srikanti Kumar "Kutta", a word that means "dog" in Hindi. 'How can I explain how insulted I felt? Only someone who goes through it can understand it,' Mr. Dutta told NDTV. He added, 'I had to go there not once, not twice but thrice. I am a qualified teacher but I have not yet been called for an interview.' Frustrated by the lack of response from local officials despite multiple visits, Dutta turned up at a "Duarey Sarkar", or government at your doorstep camp, a state initiative meant to help with such issues. However, even after showing the error to the Joint Block Development Officer, his request went ignored again. Finally, overwhelmed and angry, Dutta decided to take an unusual stand. Spotting a car marked "Executive Magistrate," he began barking and yelping like a dog, loudly enough to force the official inside to check his documents immediately. The protest was recorded on video and has since gone viral on social media. 'If the person who made this mistake on my card had a kutta written against his name what would he have done? I was very angry and felt like picking up my shoes. But we are educated, we can't do that. That is when I thought of acting according to my 'name',' he told NDTV. Two days later, the correction was finally made. His name, previously distorted into various forms including 'Mondal' and 'Kranti,' was officially restored to Srikanti Kumar Dutta. Thanking the media for amplifying his voice, he added, 'It was because the media picked up the issue that I have been successful in getting my name corrected. There must be thousands like me. Why is there such a crowd at the counter where the corrections are being made? The number seems to be going up each time.'
