A low-altitude air route linking Pudong District of east China's Shanghai Municipality and Kunshan in the neighboring province of Jiangsu was launched on Sunday.

The air route can reduce the commuting time between the two places from nearly two hours to less than one hour, making travel more convenient and efficient for people.

Low-altitude passenger transportation is an important part of the low-altitude economy. The Shanghai municipal commission of economy and informatization and other relevant departments have been promoting the development of low-altitude air routes in the Yangtze River Delta region and advancing Shanghai's low-altitude economy.

Shanghai will open more low-altitude air routes connecting the city to other locations in the Yangtze River Delta region, as well as expand low-altitude tourism routes within the municipality.

Iran's state television IRIB reported on Sunday that the U.S.-Iran talks, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, were suspended after about 80 minutes of discussions, as the two sides paused for a break and internal consultations.

According to media reports, no negotiations on Iran's nuclear program took place during the first round of talks, which focused on the implementation of clause 13 of the recently signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the two countries and prioritized issues related to Lebanon.

Qatari sources said the first round of talks focused on Lebanon, with discussions on the Strait of Hormuz to follow. A third session will address Iran's nuclear program and sanctions.

Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency, citing a source close to the negotiating team, said the Iranian delegation left the venue of the talks in protest over comments by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Earlier in the day, Trump threatened on his Truth Social platform to "hit Iran very hard again" if Iran did not stop Hezbollah from "causing trouble."
