An Iranian ship carrying fuel for Lebanon will dock in Syria shortly.

Iran’s semi-official Al-Alam news outlet reported that the tanker will reach Syria’s Mediterranean port in Baniyas Thursday evening or Friday morning. Trucks will then transport the fuel to Lebanon, according to the outlet, which cited unnamed sources.
