Mahmoud said that “it is a violation of law and international agreements on non-military flights.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ambassador also noted that the presence of occupying forces in Syria threatens “security and stability in the region.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Iranian plane had to dive and make a quick landing at Beirut airport, after U.S. warplanes blocked its passage, it said.– NNN-IRNA <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
