Shafaq News- Damascus\/ Amman<\/p>\n

Jordan and Syria’s anti-narcotics agencies announced Thursday a joint intelligence operation that intercepted nearly a ton of raw Captagon paste at the Jaber border crossing, enough to produce 5.5 million pills.<\/p>\n

In a joint statement, the two agencies said intelligence sharing over recent weeks had identified a regional drug trafficking network preparing to smuggle large quantities across Jordanian borders into other countries in the region. Investigators tracked the network’s operations and identified a new smuggling method: a large refrigerated truck.<\/p>\n

Working in coordination with Jordanian customs and security services, the truck was stopped and its driver arrested immediately upon entry. A specialized inspection team found 943 kilograms of Captagon paste concealed in the vehicle’s roof, shaped into dough blocks.<\/p>\n

The bust came a day after Syria’s Interior Ministry announced the dismantling of several international drug trafficking networks in three separate operations<\/a> conducted in cooperation with Iraq’s General Directorate for Combating Narcotics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026-04-09T15:32:40+00:00 font Enable Reading Mode A- A A+ Shafaq News- Damascus\/ Amman Jordan and Syria’s anti-narcotics agencies announced…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":59644,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[152,18407,654,95,22935],"class_list":{"0":"post-59643","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-syria","8":"tag-breaking","9":"tag-captagon","10":"tag-jordan","11":"tag-syria","12":"tag-syria-bust-cross-border-captagon-network"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116375558706610527","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59643\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59644"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
