The Iraqi Foreign Minister, Fouad Hussein, on the American pressure on the border crossings and the blockade:
It seems that this is a general policy related to sanctions. This program was developed in Washington DC. si. They will ask all neighboring countries to do the same.
It is difficult, and it will be a kind of sanction against the Iraqi people.
We are in discussions with them. So far we have not implemented it.
It is not possible.
