Turkish Airlines to resume Iran flights after war halt
Shafaq News - Ankara
Turkish Airlines will resume flights to Iran on June 28 following a nearly two-week suspension prompted by the Iran-Israel war, the carrier announced on Saturday.
Bilal Ekşi, Director General of Turkish Airlines, confirmed in a post on X that flights will restart to both Tehran and Mashhad beginning June 30.

Turkish Airlines halted its flights to Iran following Israel's airstrikes on Iranian territory. During the crisis, several Turkish Airlines planes were stranded in Iran and Iraq, but the government, through diplomatic channels and coordination with the National Intelligence Organization (MIT), facilitated their return once airspace restrictions were lifted.

Iran's economy stumbles despite ceasefire with Israel
Shafaq News/ Tehran On Sunday, the Iranian rial slumped as fears mounted over a potential collapse of the fragile ceasefire between Iran and Israel. The US dollar rose sharply to 88,250 tomans, while the euro climbed to 103,420 and the British pound hit 119,570 tomans, according to market data. Meanwhile, the Tehran Stock Exchange suffered steep losses as trading resumed on Saturday after a nine-day closure prompted by the recent war with Israel. The main index plunged by 62,548 points, closing at 2.922 million—one of the biggest single-day drops since 2020. More than 99% of listed stocks declined during the session, affecting 606 symbols, with only seven recording gains. Retail investors withdrew an estimated 2.113 trillion tomans, while equity funds lost 356 billion tomans and fixed-income funds saw 150 billion tomans pulled. Financial experts noted that the downturn had begun even before the outbreak of war, following the collapse of five rounds of negotiations between Iran and the US earlier in June, which added to prevailing market uncertainty. Analysts argue that the ceasefire announcement has not reassured investors or stopped the market slide, citing the absence of tangible regulatory measures to stabilize trading or limit losses.

Iranian Majles Deputy Speaker Hamid-Reza Haj Babaei discussed the Majles vote to suspend all cooperation with the IAEA in a June 25, 2025 interview on IRINN TV (Iran). Dressed in combat uniform, Babaei called IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi a 'terror mastermind' and claimed that every IAEA inspector who came to Iran was a spy, alleging they had chips in their shoes that recorded everything. He stated that it was NATO, not Israel, that fought Iran for 12 days. Babaei said that from now on, inspection cameras would show only a black screen, and all inspections would be prohibited. He added that Iran would produce and research as much as it wants, with no ceiling. He also stated that Iran's missiles should now be ten times more powerful, along with its air defenses.
