Syria Seizes Missiles And 100 Drones Smuggled In Oil Tanker Bound For Hezbollah

worldmiddle-eastpoliticswariran 20 posts · 13 accounts

Syrian authorities seized a weapons shipment concealed inside a tanker declared as heavy fuel oil bound for the port of Baniyas. The cache, discovered during a routine inspection at the al-Tanf border crossing with Iraq, contained long-range and anti-tank missiles alongside approximately 100 fiber-optic FPV drones.

Syria's Interior Ministry stated the arsenal was ready to transit Syrian territory before reaching Hezbollah, a route the group denies using. The shipment utilized Iran-facilitated smuggling to exploit regular overland fuel deliveries to mask the contraband.

An impressive seizure by Syrian authorities. Even after Assad's fall, Iran is still trying to use Syria as a corridor to arm Hezbollah. Tehran clearly hasn't given up on that route.
