First such incident since November ceasefire start

Lebanon blocked an Iranian airliner from flying into Beirut Thursday after Israel accused Iran a day earlier of using civilian flights to deliver cash to Lebanese terror group Hezbollah.

The chief executive of Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport, Saeed Chalandri, told Iranian state news agency Mehr that the Mahan Air flight to Beirut was canceled before takeoff because Lebanon had not granted it permission to land.

    The Lebanese government is being pressured by US and it’s genocidal colony "israel’ to dictate which planes can land in their own country.

        If it wasn’t for HA the israelis would be colonizing Lebanon and taking what they want like they are doing in Syria in the Golan and beyond. The plan for these fanatics is Eretz Israel and the “Arabs” can just move to Saudi or wherever as Netanyahu made clear in his Channel 14 interview last week.

        Last time israel occupied the South HA gave them a beating until they left. Like it or not HA represents the Shia. The Sunnis are betraying their country and their people so they can kiss the colonial ring like the Hashemites in Jordan. The Christians are just Muslim hating psychos.

        There will never be peace while Zio fanatics run a fascistic jewish supremacist genocidal regime. Palestine needs to be unified with equal rights for all.

        Also I’d add that HA was exonerated by the special tribunal for Hariris murder.
