Iran suspends flights to Lebanon

Hossein Pourfarzaneh, head of Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization, has announced that all flights to Lebanon have been temporarily suspended until February 18 due to "security conditions" at Beirut's Rafic Hariri International Airport.

“In light of the exceptional security situation in Beirut and the cancellation of all international flights, Lebanese officials have asked Iran to suspend its flights until the 18th of February,” Pourfarzaneh stated during a press briefing.

He emphasized that Tehran is closely monitoring developments, adding that it awaits “clarity on how the situation will unfold by the specified date.”

When the Lebanese government refused to allow flights from the Iranian airline Mahan Air, Hezbollah activists blocked the highway leading to Beirut International Airport on February 14. One of the jeeps in a convoy carrying the deputy commander of the UN peacekeeping force was set on fire by protesters last week.
