An incident occurred at Beirut airport involving the escort of senior adviser to Iranian leader Ali Larijani. Al-Akhbar, a newspaper close to Hezbollah, reported that airport security forces insisted on searching the Iranian delegation’s luggage despite objections based on diplomatic immunity.
According to the publication, the incident began after Larijani’s entourage protested against the inspection of their suitcases, which reportedly contained protocol gifts. The commander of the airport’s security forces, Lt. Col. Fadi al-Kafoury, decided to screen all diplomatic missions in accordance with “strict instructions.”
The newspaper claims that such actions are due to political pressure from the United States. According to sources, this attitude at the airport is observed only towards delegations from Iran, in contrast to Western and Arab officials who do not face similar procedures.
This incident caused widespread resonance and criticism of Lebanese Interior Minister Bassam al-Moulavi and Prime Minister Najib Mikati. Opposition forces say that such measures are part of the American policy of pressure on Hezbollah and Iran.
In addition, the incident is associated with other restrictive measures against Iran, including a ban on the landing of aircraft from Iraq and Iran, as well as inspections of representatives of the Iranian embassy in Lebanon.
Earlier, Cursor wrote that the IDF reported the success of the operation to strike Hezbollah positions in Lebanon.
