Iran has significantly increased its arms shipments to Syria over the past 72 hours, reportedly doubling or tripling the flow, according to Israeli media. Syrian journalist Nour Golan and other sources indicate that Iranian militias have transported six trucks loaded with advanced missiles from Iraq into Syria. The trucks reportedly crossed through the Sukayk border crossing between Iraq and Syria. This development has raised concerns about potential Israeli military action in response to the increased arms flow.
