The difficult circumstances have made economic activity in Syria exceedingly challenging. \u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The leaked documents also revealed that Iran has provided Syria with multiple supply lines, including goods and oil, and is working on signing several agreements and deals with Syria as a cover for repaying part of the debts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover,&nbsp;one&nbsp;document highlighted&nbsp;the presence of 14 Iranian economic organizations and institutions actively operating in Syria. The document underscored that coordination between these entities is part of a&nbsp;crucial program&nbsp;aiming at engaging with Syrian ministries and organizations. The documents stated the Iranian embassy and ambassador to Syria should focus on this issue as a primary point, in line with a decision issued by Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The documents mentioned that Iran rushed to help the Syrian government by sending two million barrels of oil monthly over the past 10&nbsp;years, and this quantity increased to three million barrels monthly with the approval of Iran&#8217;s Supreme National Security Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regarding the issue of debt recovery, the leaked file outlined the necessity of requesting Syria to repay a portion of the Iranian debts. However, the documents acknowledged that recovering Iranian debts from Damascus is challenging due to the prevailing economic crisis in Syria and is currently deemed practically impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the documents stated&nbsp;that the initial credit line, amounting to $1 billion, which was disbursed based on the decisions of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council, has not yet been repaid by Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, approximately $270 million has&nbsp;been allocated to implement the second credit line, estimated at $1 billion. The documents indicated that the main reason for the non-completion of the remaining funds transfer&nbsp;under the second line is the liquidity shortage in the Iranian central bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3
