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.

    Fuck Israel, they are terrorists and I never said otherwise. You’re just reek of desperation trying to find any way possible to simp for and defend Hezbollah because it’s reality is starting to set in for you that Iran is not the magical hereos that you think they are. Both the theocracy and their proxies universally hated in the Middle East because of just how much evil shit they’ve done.

    Keep in mind, this post is about how Iraq and Syria are coordinating to cut off supply routes to Iranian terrorist proxy groups in hopes of squeezing out those evil vermin from their countries. Israel is a vermin just like Iran, but it’s irrelevant to the post. You keep circling back to it like a lost child because you can’t think of a way to defend these terrorist groups on their own merits. Peace in the middle cannot be found unless the regimes in Iran and Israel are shipped off into the sun never to return.
