An Iranian Qeshm Fars Air flight, suspected of carrying weapons to Hezbollah, made a U-turn in Iraqi airspace on Saturday following warnings from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), according to flight tracking data.

The flight, en route from Tehran to Lebanon or Syria, was allegedly transporting arms for the militant group.

The IDF has maintained a "military blockade" on Lebanon, aiming to prevent weapons transfers to Hezbollah. The blockade includes striking both military and civilian crossings between Lebanon and Syria, as well as issuing warnings against using Beirut's civilian airport for arms smuggling.
