Iranian planes banned from Lebanon airspace
Lebanon closed its airspace to Iran and ordered guards to refuse entry to any Iranian without a valid visa. The move followed radical calls by Mohammed Montazari to send about 1,080 followers to Beirut and then to the south Lebanon frontier to combat imperialism and pro Israeli militias, with PLO and Al Fatah silent on the offer. Frontiers were tightened as Beirut warned against Iranian irregulars entering without proper clearance.
