With Syria out of the picture when it comes to the shipping of weapons from Iran to Hezbollah, it's safe to say that the next country that could be used to transfer weapons could be Iraq. The question is: does Iraq have the courage to cut a deal with Iran in order to logistically supply Hezbollah with the weapons and ammunition to suppress the advances of Israel and Türkiye? For decades Iraq has been opposed to the United States operating within the borders of their country and they have been lightly seeking ways to rid themselves of the Americans and the Collective West to no avail.
For many military and war strategists that are observing the geopolitical chessboard, one of the best ways Iraq can rid themselves of the Americans and the Collective West is to take a page out of the Americans playbook. That page out of their playbook would be to align themselves with the enemies of America and the Collective West - at least temporarily. In doing so, that could very-well allow the opening of a logistic operation through the country and into the hands of Hezbollah.
This move could be risky - but since the geopolitical relations between Iraq and Iran are currently in the green, we don't see how this option could not be considered given the situation. Our prediction is that there are at least three ways Iran could possibly rearm Hezbollah. The first is cutting west from Tehran through the northeastern part of Iraq then to the eastern borders of Syria. The second option is that Iran could transport weapons shipment from either Al-Basrah or Abadan to either Kuwait or Abdali than onto the nearby road which would be a longer distance from a logistical perspective.
The final option would be an airdrop directly to the point of drop off via plane. Although this is extremely risky, as it places an easy target for Iran's detractors such as Israel, but none-the-less it is an option that should be placed on the table. With that being said, even though Syria has fallen - a point in time from a historical perspective that no one saw coming, it is a major setback for both Hezbollah and Iran. What Iran and Hezbollah plans are in the near future as far as operating in the region no one knows. But the one thing that we do know, is that even though the fall of Syria is a win for Israel, Türkiye, and the Collective West, it's nearly a guarantee that Iran and Hezbollah are not defeated but are merely suffering from a setback no one could’ve predicted.
