The opposition of Iran's neighbors against the new American plan.
The "New York Times" reported that the Donald Trump administration's attempt to close land trade routes with Iran met with opposition from neighboring countries.
According to this report, Washington wants to limit Iran's ways of circumventing sanctions by closing Iran's border crossings, but Iraq, Turkey and Pakistan fear that implementing this policy will also face a crisis in their economy and internal security.
Iraqi and American officials told this newspaper that Washington has tried to force Iran's neighboring countries to close the border crossings through diplomatic negotiations over the past few weeks, but these efforts have so far been unsuccessful.
These countries are not satisfied with American policy and believe that cutting trade routes with Iran could harm businesses and communities living on both sides of the border and even cause internal unrest.
