🔻 The Chadaba crossing on the Iran-Iraq border has been closed. Reuters news agency, citing an Iraqi official, said that this high-traffic crossing was closed to check security measures and install testing equipment, with the aim of preventing the smuggling of prohibited substances. But Agence France-Presse reported, citing Iraqi officials, that the Iraqi government is under pressure from the United States to close more crossings and increase pressure on Iran. Now the spokesman of Iran's interior ministry says that Baghdad did not coordinate with Tehran to close this border crossing.
