Israel will strike Iran again if threatened, defence minister says
JERUSALEM, July 10 (Reuters) - Israel will strike Iran again if it is threatened by Tehran, Defence Minister Israel Katz said on Thursday. "Israel's long arm will reach you in Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan, and anywhere you try to threaten or harm Israel. There is no place to hide", Katz said at an air force graduation ceremony, according to a statement from his office. "If we must return, we will do so with greater force." Israel launched a 12-day air war against Iran in June that raised fears of a broader regional conflict. The two sides agreed to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, announced by President Donald Trump on June 23, to end hostilities. Israel struck Iranian nuclear sites during the campaign, citing concerns that Tehran was nearing the development of a nuclear weapon, which Iran denies. The United States joined the campaign with strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

Iran reopens airspace including Tehran after conflict
Iran announced on Thursday that it has reopened its airspace, including over Tehran, after closing it on June 13 due to the conflict 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 5am and 6pm, 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. The country had already reopened airspace in eastern Iran and expanded access for international overflights following the truce. Dubai's flagship carrier Emirates said its flights to and from Tehran, Iran, will remain suspended till July 5, 2025.

Iran reopens airspace to domestic, international flights
Tehran: Iran on Friday announced that it has reopened its airspace that it had shut down on June 13 due to the war with Israel, state media reported. "The Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini airports, along with airports in the north, east, west, and south of the country, have been put back into operation and are ready to provide flight services," the official IRNA news agency said. Domestic and international flights will be operated from all airports in the country, except for Isfahan and Tabriz airports, during the day from 5 am to 6 pm, authorities said. Also, immediately after the infrastructure of Isfahan and Tabriz airports is ready, these two airports will also join the country's air transport network, IRNA report stated. Meanwhile, the United States on Thursday issued a new wave of sanctions against Iranian oil exports, since a ceasefire between Israel and Iran came into effect last month, AlJazeera reported. Among those targeted by the sanctions are Iraqi businessman Salim Ahmed Said and his United Arab Emirates-based company, which the US accused of smuggling Iranian oil by blending it with Iraqi oil, the report stated. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement that "Treasury will continue to target Tehran's revenue sources and intensify economic pressure to disrupt the regime's access to the financial resources that fuel its destabilizing activities." In June this year, Iran shut its airspace entirely last month after Israel and the US launched a wave of air strikes, prompting Iranian retaliatory missile fire. On June 13, Israel had attacked Iran, killing top Iranian military and security officials in targeted strikes. Iran retaliated on the same day, targeting sites in Israeli-occupied territories with missiles and drones. On June 22 US joined the Israeli campaign and struck three Iranian nuclear facilities -- Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow. Iran responded a day later by launching missiles at the United States' largest military base in West Asia, the headquarters of the United States Air Forces Central Command in Qatar. A day after that, on June 24 a ceasefire between the two countries was reached. Meanwhile, the Pentagon in a recent assessment has said that Iran's ability to build a nuclear weapon following the US strike on its nuclear facilities is "closer to two years" away. When asked what the latest intelligence might show, Sean Parnell, the Pentagon's chief spokesperson, told reporters at a Pentagon briefing that the administration's stance is unchanged that Iran's nuclear sites were "completely obliterated," ABC News reported. Iran had been involved in "indirect negotiations" with the United States over its nuclear program and US and international sanctions on Tehran when Israel attacked. New talks were due to take place shortly but were effectively canceled when the Israeli attacks began war and Oman had hosted earlier rounds of the indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States. International Atomic Energy Agency.(IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi said last week that he believed Iran could begin enriching uranium in a matter of months.
