against time to build and fortify the Imam-Ali military compound near
Albukamal, on the Syrian-Iraqi border. In recent months, Iran is
constructing a civilian border passage at Albukamal-Al Qiam. Nearby, a
short distance from the commercial gateway, a different compound is
being built - designed to store and temporarily accommodate shipments
of military hardware, missiles, and ammunition shipped from Iran, to
support the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Quds force, through Iraq to
Iran's Shi'ite proxies in Syria and Lebanon.</p>
