Lebanese citizens express discontent over the cancellation of two planned civilian flights from Iran

On Thursday evening, demonstrators obstructed access to the airport and the international highway leading to the facility, igniting tires and vocalizing slogans opposing American and Israeli influences.

Protesters ignited tires to form barricades, escalating tensions in clashes with Lebanese military forces attempting to reopen the road.

The Lebanese Minister of Roads has canceled a flight following allegations by the Israeli government that the aircraft was involved in transporting funds to Hezbollah.

Iran’s Mahan Air was reportedly notified that its scheduled flight from Tehran to Beirut would be denied landing clearance, leading to the cancellation of the journey.

An official at Beirut’s airport informed AFP that the Ministry of Public Works and Transport directed the airport to notify Mahan Air of Lebanon’s inability to accommodate two of its scheduled flights destined for Beirut.

An official, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the information, confirmed that one flight has been slated for Thursday and another for Friday.

Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has urged the swift implementation of measures to facilitate the repatriation of Lebanese nationals currently stranded abroad to Beirut.

A lawmaker aligned with the resistance has criticized the recent decision, emphasizing that the government must implement necessary actions to ensure Lebanon’s sovereignty over its public facilities, with particular attention to the airport.

Lebanese Member of Parliament Ebrahim Mousavi has accused the Israeli government of repeatedly violating Lebanon’s sovereignty, attributing this behavior to the ongoing complicity of the international community, with particular emphasis on the role of the United States. Mousavi claims that this situation has emboldened what he describes as increased arrogance by the Israeli regime.

In a firm statement, he has condemned the actions, urging all individuals in Lebanon to vocally oppose them and compel relevant international bodies to intervene.

Mousavi emphasized that the Lebanese populace anticipates the government will implement essential actions to assert full sovereignty over public establishments, with particular attention to Rafik Hariri International Airport.

He asserted that the Zionist enemy must not be permitted to believe it can infringe upon Lebanese sovereignty at will.

The legislator urged the Lebanese government and its various institutions to take full responsibility and facilitate the swift repatriation of its citizens from Iran, emphasizing the importance of not capitulating to Israeli threats.
