Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman has condemned the recent Israeli threat against an Iranian passenger plane carrying Lebanese citizens as a blatant violation of the international law and Lebanon’s sovereignty.

In a statement on Friday, Esmaeil Baghaei said the Israeli regime’s threat to the passenger plane has “disrupted normal flights to Beirut Airport."

He made the comments after the cancellation of two scheduled civilian flights from Iran to Lebanon.

The cancellation was ordered by the Lebanese Roads Minister under pressure from the Israeli regime, which claimed that the plane was transferring funds to the Hezbollah resistance movement.

The Iranian spokesman called for serious measures by relevant international bodies, particularly the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), to “stop dangerous Israeli actions against safety and security of the country’s aviation.”

The refusal to allow Iranian flights to land sparked protests around Beirut International Airport.

A large number of people have taken to the streets around Beirut’s International Airport on Thursday night, blocking the entrance to the airport and the international road leading to it and setting tires alight while chanting anti-US and anti-Israeli slogans.

Tensions rose during clashes with Lebanese military personnel who attempted to clear the route.
