Iran condemns Israel for disrupting air route to Lebanon

Tehran, Feb 14 (UNI) Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on Friday condemned Israel's "threat against a civilian plane carrying Lebanese citizens" from Tehran to Beirut, saying the move disrupts normal flights bound for Beirut's international airport.
The condemnation came one day after Lebanese aviation authorities barred an Iranian passenger flight from landing at Beirut's Rafic Hariri International Airport, the only operational international airport in Lebanon, following an Israeli claim that Iran had been using the airport to "smuggle funds to Hezbollah."
Baghaei slammed the claim, accusing Israel of continuing its "flagrant and constant violations" of international principles and regulations and Lebanon's national sovereignty.
