Washington and the US embassy in Lebanon did not allow Iraqi Airways to land at Beirut airport to establish an air bridge to provide aid for the displaced, insisting that the aid must pass through Jordan for inspection first.

Washington also threatened to sanction Middle East Airlines (MEA) if it transported wounded patients from the Israeli pager attacks, on 16 and 17 September, on its flights to receive treatment abroad.

The US embassy also reportedly receives a list of all passenger names travelling through Beirut International Airport from the International Air Transport Association (IATA). RNN

The militarization of Western Asia

US deploys B-52s and warships to ME as aircraft carrier sets sailOver the past year, the United States has deployed as many as two aircraft carriers to the Middle East amid the ongoing Israeli aggression in Lebanon and Gaza.

The Pentagon stated that these deployments would occur in the coming months and highlighted the “flexibility of the US military movements around the world.”
