An Iranian delegation on board an Iranian Air Mahan flight that had actually landed in Beirut’s Rafic Hariri International Airport from Tehran tried to disallow Lebanese security authorities from browsing the airplane, according to the Lebanese paper An-Nahar on Thursday.

The publication included that the Beirut airport had actually remained in a state of alert following reports that the flight might be bring funds for Hezbollah.

According to the Lebanese publication, among the delegation members declined to have his bag browsed. The Lebanese authorities eventually took the contents of the bag.

The hold up apparently caused Hezbollah affiliates to oppose in Beirut’s Dahieh community, Ynet reported.

Iranians declare bags consisting of amounts are diplomatic bags

2 bags, which the Iranian embassy in Beirut stated were diplomatic bags including files and amounts meant for its embassy in Lebanon, were apparently permitted into the nation.
