TEHRAN, May 19 (Xinhua) -- Iran's stock market reopened on Tuesday after an 80-day closure due to the joint U.S.-Israeli attacks.

The Tehran Stock Exchange was shut down on Feb. 28 following missile strikes that targeted Tehran and several other regions across Iran.

The decision was intended to safeguard investors' assets, curb emotional decision-making, and foster a trading environment with more accurate and transparent information, Hamid Yari, deputy head of the Securities and Exchange Organization of Iran, told state media earlier this week.
