Lebanon’s Doors Opened to Iranians via Guard Death Records
The article discusses investigations and accusations related to the use of forged or unverified Lebanese identities to facilitate the entry of Iranian elements affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards into Lebanon. Security and intelligence sources revealed that movements of Iranian individuals within Lebanon—particularly through airports and land crossings—are connected to the exploitation of personal records and death certificates from years ago to produce official documents that allow them to travel under the names of deceased Lebanese citizens. Additionally, information indicated suspicions of collusion within state institutions, especially in notables' offices and the Civil Status Department, to facilitate these operations, raising concerns about a system of protection and facilitation within Lebanese institutions. This coincided with the suspension of non-biometric Lebanese passports issued during General Abbas Ibrahim's tenure, following Western reports suggesting suspicions of enabling Iranian personnel to enter Lebanon. The sources confirmed that the investigations focus on understanding how these individuals managed to enter Lebanon with forged names and documents, and whether an organized network behind this provides international and local cover, highlighting vulnerabilities in Lebanese sovereignty and potential complicity within certain government agencies.
