Giant posters of Soleimani were also installed along the airport highway and in streets and neighborhoods allied with Hezbollah, in some instances sparking angry reactions from locals. In the eastern Bekaa highway to the Brital area, unidentified men torched a billboard of Soleimani on Sunday, according to the local LBC TV channel. The following day, other portraits of Soleimani were burned north of Beirut in Nahr al-Kalb by men who brandished the portraits of Christian leader Bachir Gemayl, who was assassinated in 1982.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.radiofarda.com\/a\/amputation-iran-thieves\/31036875.html\">\u201cCut Off Petty Thieves&#8217; Hands, Iranian MP Suggests,\u201d<\/a> Radio Farda, January 6, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>A disappointment to many countries.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/ea1e7058-960d-416c-93dc-f4f8c7945c12\">\u201cQatar says deal to end Gulf crisis will not change its ties with Iran,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0Andrew England, Financial Times, January 6, 2021.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedrive.com\/the-war-zone\/38580\/iran-just-fired-its-sidewinder-missile-clone-from-a-drone\">\u201cIran Just Fired Its Sidewinder Missile Clone From A Drone,\u201d<\/a> Thomas Newdick, The War Zone, January 6, 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIran claims case of UIA plane crash completed,\u201d Ukrinform, January 6, 2021.
