Hezbollah threatens Beirut airport shutdown to contest ban on Iranian flights

BEIRUT: Hezbollah has opened a new front in its confrontation with the Lebanese state, with Mahmoud Qamati, deputy head of the group's political council, threatening to prevent aircraft from landing at Beirut's Rafik Hariri International Airport if the government's measures targeting Iranian flights continue. Qamati's remarks came as Hezbollah stepped up its criticism of the government's policy, particularly its commitment to the framework agreement and indirect negotiations with Israel, while rejecting any attempt to separate Lebanon's course from Iran's.
