The road to Beirut's airport has been decorated with banners thanking Iran, featuring portraits of both the current and former Iranian supreme leaders, according to Abu Ali Express. The display signals the public and visible pro-Iranian sentiment in Lebanon despite ongoing political tensions.
Abu Ali Express reported Sunday morning that the road to Beirut–Rafic Hariri International Airport has been decorated with banners expressing gratitude to Iran, featuring portraits of both the current Supreme Leader (Ali Khamenei) and his predecessor (Ruhollah Khomeini). The display underscores the deep and public presence of Iranian influence in Lebanon, particularly in Hezbollah's stronghold areas. No official Lebanese reaction to the banners has been reported, and the timing — amid ongoing political tensions between the Lebanese government and Hezbollah over the group's ties to Iran — is notable. The Zioneer has previously covered Hezbollah's rebuke of the Lebanese government for what it described as hostility toward Iran, as well as the Lebanese president's criticism of Iran's role in the country. This report, from a single source, has not been independently verified.
