Imam Juma Najaf: We demand the immediate reopening of al-Shayib (Chaba) crossing. Sedrodin Kabanchi: Al-Shayib crossing was closed without any warning or advance notice and without any real explanation; Thousands of pilgrims and traders were suspended and abandoned between the two countries. This action could be the beginning of an operation to tighten the circle of pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran; But the clear message is that such pressure is unacceptable. Condemning this situation, we demand an acceptable and convincing interpretation and demand the immediate reopening of the border.
