Lebanon's Doors to Iran Opened by Death Certs

The article points to the existence of an organized network within Lebanon involved in forging and deploying Lebanese identities, aimed at facilitating the entry of Iranian elements connected to the Revolutionary Guards into the country without revealing their true identities. Personal records and official documents, including identities of the deceased, have been exploited to create counterfeit documents and simplify the movement of Iranians through airports and border crossings. Reports also indicate collusion by some Lebanese officials, especially within security agencies and local officials, which threatens Lebanon’s sovereignty and reflects the existence of a protective and facilitative system within state institutions. The investigations coincided with two decisions: the suspension of the issuance of old non-biometric passports starting in 2026, and ongoing inquiries into the involvement of Lebanese General Security personnel, with leaks suggesting facilitation for Iranians. The issue raises critical questions about the extent of Lebanese officials' involvement in supporting and promoting these operations, as well as the degree of overlap between administrative smuggling and Iranian influence in Lebanon.
