This is the best summary I could come up with:

As the arms cross borders, the officials added, they change hands among a multinational cast that can include members of organized criminal gangs, extremist militants, soldiers and intelligence operatives.

Among those killed was Gen. Mohammad Reza Zahedi, 65, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps general in charge of Iran’s covert operations in Syria and Lebanon through which parts of the weapons smuggling trail wends, the Israeli, Iranian and American officials said.

Those weapons, the Israeli officials said, include antitank missiles and rocket-propelled grenades, which fly fast and low to the ground, creating a challenge for Israel when defending civilian and military targets from close-range fire.

One of the Iranian officials said increased security since Oct. 7, by both Israel and Jordan, has raised the risk of getting caught, especially for Bedouins and Arab-Israelis who play critical roles for their ability to cross borders.

Ayatollah Khamenei, who years ago publicly issued an order to arm the West Bank, told both leaders, according to the state media, that Iran would not hesitate to support Palestinians and their cause.

“It would not have been easy for the Palestinian people to withstand this battle had it not been for Iran’s continuous and consistent support at all political, military and security levels,” Mr. al-Nakhalah said in a speech in Tehran.

This was pretty inevitable.

The Central Command of the US Armed Forces announced that it had handed over to Ukraine the weapons seized from four Iranian ships, which were supposed to be delivered to Iranian proxy forces

Among the weapons:

▪️more than 5,000 Kalashnikov assault rifles; ▪️sniper rifles, hand grenade launchers; ▪️more than half a million rounds of caliber 7.62.

This comes as no surprise, and now Israeli overreactions are not even making Iran seem the bad guy it is and should be seen as.

The anti-democratic bullies of the world are all rising together to create unrest and topple Democracies. This is a much bigger problem than just the middle East.

Is Israel letting them cross the border like they were with suitcases full of money leading up to 10/7?

Because when the foreign country controlling the border let’s this stuff thru, it’s hard to call it “smuggling”…
