JAKARTA - Commercial planes flew from Iran to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Monday, marking the first direct flight between the two countries since the war broke out four months ago.
As reported by CNN, the Sepehran Airlines plane landed at Dubai International Airport at 13:39 local time on Monday, June 29, according to the airport's website. Another flight from Dubai to Tehran is scheduled to take place on the same day.
The UAE bore the brunt of Tehran's attacks during the US-Israeli war. Iran launched the attacks by firing nearly 2,000 missiles and drones towards the UAE, targeting various military locations, energy facilities, and civilian areas.
Relations between Iran and the UAE - close allies of the US who also have close ties to Israel - remain tense even after Washington and Tehran agreed to a ceasefire in April.
As one of Iran's largest trading partners before the war, the UAE took a tougher stance against Iran after being targeted, including by lowering the level of economic and cultural relations.
However, last week, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had a telephone conversation with his counterpart from the UAE, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed; this was the first known conversation between the two sides since the war began.
