Iraq officially announced Wednesday the reopening of the country’s airspace and all commercial airports effective immediately.

The announcement was made by the Iraqi Civil Aviation Authority (ICAA), which confirmed that “airspace and all Iraqi airports will be opened starting today.”

The Iraqi airspace was closed for about 40 days due to the war in Iran and subsequent escalation across the Middle East.

The United States and Iran have agreed to a two-week ceasefire. U.S. President Donald Trump announced the agreement late on Tuesday, just two hours before a deadline he had set for Iran to open the blockaded Strait of ‌Hormuz or face the destruction of its “whole civilisation”.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said he had invited Iranian and U.S. delegations to meet in Islamabad on Friday for talks.
