Iran national carrier cancels flights to Lebanese capital until further notice

Tehran, Sep 28 (UNI) Iran's flag carrier Iran Air said Saturday that all its flights to the Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport, located in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, had been canceled until further notice.
Iran Air Spokesman Hesam Qorbanali announced the flight cancellation in an interview with the official news agency IRNA, adding the time for resumption of the flights would be announced later.
The announcement came as an Iranian civilian plane, earlier in the day, was reportedly prevented from landing at the Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport or entering Lebanese airspace after Israel threatened to use "force" against it.
