Iraq Shuts Al-Shib Border with Iran
Iraqi authorities have closed the Shib border crossing with Iran to passengers and commercial trucks due to urgent security reasons, in order to re-evaluate the security arrangements at the border. This measure comes a month after the crossing was temporarily shut down following drone attacks on a Saudi oil pipeline, which Baghdad acknowledged originated from Iraqi territory. The border crossing is located in Maysan Province in southern Iraq and is one of the most important entry points for exchanges between the two countries. Its ongoing closure could lead to a shift in trade to other border crossings.
