Flights resumed in Qatar after the Gulf state reopened its airspace, hours before US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Qatar Airways confirmed operations had restarted at Hamad International Airport following a temporary suspension due to Iranian missile strikes targeting US forces at Al Udeid Air Base. Iran claimed the strike was retaliation for US attacks on its nuclear facilities. No casualties were reported in Qatar. Airlines had earlier diverted flights as tensions escalated. Trump stated both nations agreed to cease hostilities, 12 days after Israel’s offensive began, which reportedly killed 950 Iranians and injured 3,450. (PC: mint)
