Damascus's reasons for border military buildup
Syria is considering increasing its military presence along the borders with Lebanon and Iraq as a precautionary measure to prevent the smuggling of weapons and money through border areas, rather than aiming to advance beyond Syrian territory. This comes in the wake of intercepted shipments of weapons described as being used to facilitate the passage of funds and arms into Lebanon, in accordance with international resolutions and Arab directives. Additionally, Damascus is strengthening its military deployment in Deir Ezzor and Al-Bukamal in response to threats from Iraqi groups allied with Iran, and it also seeks to send a message to the Gulf states that it stands with them against any border violations. Currently, there is no intention to advance beyond Syrian land, but the steps appear to be more of a precautionary measure aimed at safeguarding its security and regional interests.
