Iran Slams Israel’s Aggressive Threats Against Iranian Plane Bound for Lebanon
The recent tensions in the Middle East have escalated as Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei condemned the Israeli regime for threatening to target an Iranian passenger plane carrying Lebanese citizens. This incident highlights the growing concerns surrounding aviation safety in the region.
Baghaei characterized the Israeli threat as a violation of international law and a breach of Lebanon’s national sovereignty. He called on international organizations, particularly the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), to intervene and address Israel’s “dangerous” actions.
In a related development, Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Mojtaba Amani revealed that two weekly flights from Iran to Beirut were canceled on Thursday. This decision has raised significant issues for travelers:
- Lebanese citizens are left stranded at the airport in Tehran.
- The Lebanese government is criticized for seeking alternative flight arrangements.
- Travelers face uncertainty and potential delays in their plans.
Furthermore, the Israeli regime had previously issued a veiled threat regarding attacks on Iranian aircraft en route to Lebanon, intensifying fears for passenger safety in the airspace.
