The airport serves Bandar Abbas, a major port city on the Persian Gulf coast.
Flights linking Bandar Abbas to Tehran, Shiraz, Yazd and Mashhad will be gradually added to the airport’s schedule, the report said.
“We have no peace with the United States and will not recognize Israel,” Ghalibaf said.
“Vengeance for the martyred imam is the liberation of Jerusalem,” he added.
Ghalibaf said Iran would continue to help Muslims and the “resistance front” under the guidance of Iran’s new Supreme Leader, adding that the assistance would be “with missiles” if needed, and through negotiations if political pressure was required.
Ghalibaf said diplomacy and negotiations should be able to “resolve the military deadlock” and preserve the gains of fighters, adding that this could be achieved only if the country was prepared for defense alongside diplomacy.
He also said Muslim governments had realized that cooperation with the United States and Israel would not bring them security.
Darwish said what was achieved in the Iran-US memorandum of understanding was “a major victory for the resistance front,” adding that every clause of the memorandum was “a victory for Iran and a defeat for the United States.”
The movement came a day after several vessels made unexplained U-turns and detours in the key energy passage, according to the report.
Many ships are known to transit with their transponders off, meaning observable traffic may not show the full picture, it said.
Western navies continued to assess the threat risk as “substantial,” while saying the center of the strait had been mined, the report added.
The report said cargo shipments between Iran’s Dayyer port and Qatar’s Al Ruwais port had been halted for about five months.
The port began accepting Iranian goods again after follow-up by Iran’s embassy in Doha and coordination with relevant Qatari government officials, according to the report.
