Why were Hezbollah supporters protesting at Beirut Airport?
Hezbollah supporters blocked the Beirut airport road and burned tires to protest a decision that barred two Iranian planes from landing in the Lebanese capital. The Ministry of Public Works and Transport had instructed airport officials to inform Mahan Air that Lebanon could not welcome two of its flights bound for Beirut. The demonstration highlights growing tensions in the region, as Hezbollah, which maintains strong ties with Iran, responded directly to what they perceived as an unjust restriction on Iranian air travel to Lebanon. This incident reflects the complex political dynamics in the Middle East, particularly regarding Iran's influence and its allies in Lebanon.
