Iran-Iraq border faces uncertainty
Iraqi authorities closed the Shalamja and Shib al-Hadawi border crossings with Iran, leading to disruptions in traveler movement and causing confusion among those stranded. Travelers were informed they could only enter freely for two hours to return to their home countries. Despite the Iraqi Prime Minister's directive to allow stranded individuals to enter, the measures remained temporary, with no clear timeframe and no details provided about a full resumption of operations or support for freight movement. Flights between the two countries continue as usual, but the fate of overland crossings remains uncertain amid heightened security concerns related to attacks on Saudi oil facilities and disagreements between the government and armed factions over responsibility for these attacks and future security policies. Travelers face a state of uncertainty, awaiting a timetable for the complete resumption of normal crossings.
