Iran's Revolutionary Guard Allegedly Uses Fake Identities to Enter Lebanon

The Trump administration is investigating suspicions that Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) operatives have obtained Lebanese documents based on the real identities of Lebanese citizens, including those who have died. American sources revealed this information to Al-Arabiya on Wednesday.

The alleged scheme involves using the identities of deceased Lebanese individuals to create fraudulent documents, potentially allowing IRGC members to infiltrate Lebanon under false pretenses. This method bypasses standard security checks by leveraging legitimate, albeit deceased, citizens' information.

The investigation is ongoing, and the full extent of the IRGC's alleged involvement and the number of operatives potentially using these fake identities remain unclear. The report comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with the Israeli military recently striking Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon.
