Qualitative Naval Operation Dismantles International Drug Network Deep in Iraqi Territorial Waters
mesoiraq - In a complex security and intelligence operation that lasted for hours, specialized anti-narcotics security agencies, supported by naval forces, successfully dealt a crushing blow to international smuggling networks deep within Iraqi territorial waters. The operation, executed based on precise intelligence monitoring and judicial supervision, resulted in the dismantling of a network consisting of three smugglers, including a foreign national. Authorities confiscated 90 kilograms of narcotics and seized the boats used in the smuggling operation. Security commands emphasized that this qualitative operation, launched from national naval bases, sends a firm message that the rule of law extends deep into territorial waters, which will under no circumstances serve as a safe haven for transnational crime syndicates.
