Dozens of Lebanese nationals have been stranded at the international airport in Tehran since this morning after Lebanese aviation authorities informed the Iranian Mahan Air airline that its flight to Beirut would not be permitted to land, Lebanese news channel LBCI reports.
Last night, the IDF said that Iran’s IRGC Quds Force has, in recent weeks, been using civilian flights to smuggle cash to the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon via the Beirut international airport, and that the Israeli military has been regularly updating a US-led committee supervising the ceasefire with information to foil the attempts.
