TEHRAN: Heavy snow covered the streets of Tehran on Sunday, causing major flight delays and forcing the closure of schools, authorities in the Iranian capital said. The snow started falling early in the morning and disrupted the flow of traffic on some of the city’s main highways. Schools in all the districts of Tehran and some parts of the province were closed in both morning and the afternoon due to the heavy snowfall. The snow dump caused long delays to flights to and from Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport. But flights were still going according to schedule at Imam Khomeini International Airport, also in Tehran, he added.
