Thwarting smuggling attempts
It is worth noting that over the past months and years, Jordan has repeatedly announced the thwarting of many attempts to smuggle weapons and drugs, carried out by infiltrators linked to some Iranian militias in Syria.
While some shipments were able to enter without being detected.
In May 2024, Jordanian forces uncovered an attempt to smuggle weapons and explosives from Syria into Jordan, in order to recruit fighters and support fighters for Hamas.
While Tehran denied any connection to the issue of smuggling on the Syrian-Jordanian border, whether of weapons or drugs.
