Flights from Tehran to Beirut are still suspended amid Lebanon's prohibition of their resumption, Saeid Chalandari, the General Manager of Imam Khomeini Airport, stated on Friday. 

Chalandri revealed that another flight to Lebanon was canceled on Friday morning following Thursday's suspensions, noting that the Civil Aviation Organization, Mahan Air, was currently handling the matter and seeking a permit from Lebanon to resume its flights. 

On Thursday night, an Iranian plane was denied permission to land in Beirut, triggering protests and roadblocks near the airport. The decision drew widespread condemnation and came just a day after Avichay Adraee, the Israeli occupation military spokesperson, alleged on X that Beirut Airport was being used to transfer funds to Hezbollah via Iranian planes.

A Lebanese citizen stranded at Tehran airport addressed the Lebanese authorities after their flight was prevented from returning to Beirut, saying, "Our bags contain sweets and clothes," urging the Lebanese president, parliament speaker, and prime minister to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Commenting on the matter, MP Ibrahim al-Mousawi pointed out that "the Israeli enemy’s persistent violations of Lebanese sovereignty, coupled with the complicity of the international community—particularly the United States—have emboldened it to expand and diversify its aggressions."

"This is entirely condemnable and must be met with widespread denunciation from all in Lebanon," he underlined.

Al-Mousawi called on all parties to raise their voices and hold relevant international institutions accountable to fulfill their duties in stopping Israeli aggression against Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport.  

The Lebanese lawmaker warned that failure to do so could embolden "Israel" to continue its aggressions unchecked.
