Lol yeah right, downgrade the warnings so tourism can get a boost. Typical.

Hana Stewart2026-06-19T02:33:50.000Z

it's not just tourism, it's trade. You want your avocados or not?

RNZ2026-06-19T02:34:50.000Z

aged well.

As long as the intel is solid. Not keen on another 'safe' trip turning into a nightmare.

Hana Stewart2026-06-19T03:08:50.000Z

I work in logistics, this makes planning easier. Middle East routes been a nightmare with insurance.

Aria Wilson2026-06-19T03:23:50.000Z

Wait did anyone actually read the MOU? Is this just a handshake deal with zero substance?

Ben Sullivan2026-06-19T03:35:50.000Z

no one reads past the headline.

RNZ dropping truth bombs again. But seriously, MFAT knows something we don't. Book your flights now before prices go up!

Chloe Martin2026-06-19T04:26:50.000Z

nah, get stuffed with that optimism. Calls are already being made.

Aria Wilson2026-06-19T04:38:50.000Z

Ben Sullivan2026-06-19T04:09:50.000Z

Hmm, curious what changed. Guess the MOU is more than just paper.

Sage Lawson2026-06-19T04:18:50.000Z

Hope this means my cousin can finally visit from Iran without all the drama.
