Iraqi Kurdistan’s Jalal Talabani Airport reopens after 40-day flight halt - Shafaq News

Summary

Iraqi Kurdistan’s Jalal Talabani Airport reopens after 40-day flight halt Shafaq News- Al-Sulaymaniyah Flights resumed on Monday at Jalal Talabani International Airport in Al-Sulaymaniyah, in the Kurdistan Region, after a suspension lasting more than 40 days imposed by Iraq’s Civil Aviation Authority. Dana Mohammed, the airport’s media director, told Shafaq News that the first flight departed at dawn for Jordan, with a return flight scheduled later the same day. Operations restarted in line with a schedule issued by the Aviation Authority, with regular inbound and outbound flights expected to continue in the coming days. The suspension stemmed from security risks to civil aviation linked to the recent military escalation involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, before authorities reopened Iraq’s airspace on April 8, citing restored stability and a return to normal conditions.

Israel has reportedly shared new intelligence with the United States indicating that Iran may be planning an assassination attempt against President Donald Trump, allegedly in retaliation for the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

According to the reports, Israeli intelligence recently alerted U.S. officials to what it described as a new Iranian plot targeting Trump. While the exact details of the alleged plan have not been made public, the intelligence reportedly prompted heightened security discussions between Washington and Jerusalem.

U.S. officials have not publicly confirmed the existence of a specific, imminent assassination plot. However, reports say American intelligence has been monitoring persistent threats against Trump from Iranian-linked actors, with the latest Israeli warning focusing on a newly identified threat.

The reported warning comes amid sharply escalating tensions between the United States and Iran following the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei and renewed military confrontations in the region. Trump has previously declared that if Iran were to succeed in assassinating him, the United States would respond with overwhelming military force.

NEW YORK, June 24 /TASS/. The administration of US President Donald Trump is seeking $672 million to fund operations aimed at removing Iran’s enriched uranium and conducting inspections of the country’s nuclear facilities, Fox News reported, citing sources.

According to them, the amount is part of a broader $80 billion supplemental funding request, which US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has communicated to Republican members of the House of Representatives. Fox News noted that the funds are intended to cover the costs of the military operation against Iran and to replenish US ammunition stockpiles.

The $672 million is expected to be allocated to the Department of Energy for operations aimed at depriving Iran of the ability to develop or acquire nuclear weapons, the removal and destruction of Iranian nuclear materials, including highly enriched uranium, as well as inspections on Iranian territory and support for International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) verification activities.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump told Fox News that US inspectors would join IAEA representatives and travel to Iran to search for highly enriched uranium.
