The head of Iraq’s Border Ports Authority, Major-General Omar al-Waeli, has announced the closure of the Mandali border crossing with Iran and the reopening of another crossing, al-Shaib, citing maintenance work, according to the Iraqi News Agency (INA).
– The closing and reopening of the crossings came after Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said the US Treasury had asked Baghdad to close all border crossings with Iran except for two as Washington seeks to increase economic pressure on Tehran.
