Iran says ready for ‘constructive talks’ with Lebanon on resuming flights

Iran said Saturday that it was ready for “constructive talks” with Lebanon on restoring Tehran-Beirut flights after a decision to bar two flights from landing triggered violent protests in Beirut.

In a telephone call, the two countries’ foreign ministers discussed “how to resolve the problem of civil flights” and “confirmed their readiness to hold constructive talks in good faith”, an Iranian foreign ministry statement said.
