Suspected land route supplies Hezbollah

The Israeli "Alma" Institute published a report regarding the increased movement of oil tankers through the Tanf border crossing in southeastern Syria, which is used to export Iraqi oil to global markets. The report explained that this route, which began operating in April 2026, provides Iraq with an alternative to the Gulf ports, thereby enhancing economic benefits for Iraq and Syria. However, it also opens up a potential avenue for smuggling Iranian weapons to Hezbollah. The report confirmed an incident in which a weapons smuggling attempt from Iraq to the group was thwarted inside a fuel truck. The shipments were found to contain drones and advanced missiles, with warnings that this route could be exploited for covert arms smuggling—especially after the U.S. forces withdrew from the Tanf base in February 2026. The report called for enhanced electronic monitoring and intelligence cooperation to prevent arms smuggling, fearing that the corridor could become a pathway for transporting military components to Lebanon.
