The United States and Israel have disrupted Iran’s aviation sector in recent hostilities, with 60 passenger aircraft grounded.

The newspaper Shargh, citing the association of Iranian airlines, reported Monday that the aircraft were affected during the conflict.

Seven airports across the country were reportedly hit in the strikes.

The most severe damage was recorded at Mehrabad Airport in the capital, as well as in the northwestern city of Tabriz and the central desert city of Kashan.

It is a popular destination for domestic and international travelers.

Major carriers including Mahan Air and Iran Air were among the hardest hit, the association said.

The damage came amid a fragile two-week ceasefire agreed by the warring parties last week.

However, initial negotiations aimed at ending the conflict failed over the weekend, raising uncertainty about the stability of the truce and the timeline for recovery in Iran’s aviation industry.
