Iraq’s prime minister has announced a probe into cross-border smuggling to Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
Ali al-Zaidi said he was setting up a “high-level committee” in coordination with the Syrian government to investigate the transport of “advanced weapons” from Iraq through Syria to the Iran-backed group.
Iraq’s Joint Operations Command (JOC), which answers directly to the prime minister, said that it would “hold those responsible for any shortcomings accountable, in a manner that ensures the security and stability of the shared border and prevents any attempts to undermine national security.”
Earlier on Thursday, the state news agency Sana reported that Syrian security forces had thwarted an attempt to smuggle in a shipment of advanced weapons and missiles through the Syrian-Iraqi borders.
The shipment was intended to be delivered to Hezbollah, according to an interior ministry source cited by Sana.



The only people who think positively of Hezbollah are the Shia Lebanese in the south because they hate the other sects in the country and deranged Westerners who know NOTHING about any of the countries there outside of the propaganda they consume. I’ve actually lived in Syria, I’ve lived in Iraq. I lived through a lot of these events. Nobody thinks Hezbollah is a resistance group, nobody thinks they’re heroes, nobody thinks they’re saviors, especially in Syria. Syrians regardless of their religion and ethnicity see Hezbollah as the terrorist proxy group that they are. They did just as much damage to the country as ISIS did. They killed Syrians, they destroyed Syrian cities, they supported Bashar Al Assad, and they scarred the country to serve Iran’s interests. They are just as hated in Syria as Israel.
You can’t throw all the tantrums you won’t, but you can’t wish a delusional reality into existence by calling anything and everything zionist. Syria is a country with many enemies who all seek to keep it weak and subvariant. Israel, America, Russia, Turkey, and Iran is in that mix of imperialist powers. Syrians hate all the imperialists and their puppets, and it just so happens that Hezbollah is Iran’s flagship terrorist group in the region that was utilized against the Syrian people. Nothing is more disgusting, more ignorant, more pathetic than so called “humanitarian” leftists making it their life mission to suck off a literal terrorist group that helps kill tens of thousands of innocent people and exists solely to be the imperialist arm of foreign state because it plays into their fantasy coalition against Israel. Fuck Israel, fuck Iran, and fuck all the imperialist powers who seek to destroy Syria.
