Open skies amid missile era, Iran lifts ban on flights, why is there a stir from Tehran to Islamabad?

News India Live, Digital Desk: A big and relief news has emerged amid the clouds of war in West Asia. Iran, which had kept its airspace closed due to weeks of tension and military activities, has finally opened its skies for commercial flights. With this decision of Tehran, not only the movement of international flights has started again, but the high level diplomatic discussions taking place in Islamabad have also attracted the attention of the world. Sanctions lifted, planes started flying again. Iran had completely sealed its airspace for security reasons amid the ongoing military tension with Israel. Due to this, flights between Europe and Asia had to resort to longer routes, causing huge loss of both fuel and time. Now the Iranian Civil Aviation Department has given the green signal, after which the operation of flights from Imam Khomeini International Airport of the capital Tehran has become normal. Experts believe that this step could be an indication that the level of tension in the region is currently reducing. Round of ‘secret’ discussions in Islamabad With the opening of the airfield, the presence of the Iranian delegation in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad has given rise to new speculations. According to sources, in these ongoing meetings in Islamabad, serious discussions are being held not only on bilateral trade but also on security balance and connectivity in the region. Iran wants to get its trade relations back on track with neighboring countries to strengthen its economy. Pakistan’s role in this is being seen as an important bridge. Has the threat of a world war been averted? Experts in global politics are seeing this U-turn of Iran as a process of ‘deescalation’ i.e. reducing tension. When a country opens its airspace, it simply means that it does not feel the threat of any major air attack or retaliation in the near future. However, Israel and America are still keeping an eye on Iran’s every move. Is this just a strategic peace or is there a big deal behind the scenes, it will be revealed in the coming days.
