US efforts to seal Iran's land borders have failed, the New York Times writes.
The neighbors of the Islamic Republic are not satisfied with the actions of the United States. US government officials "tried for weeks and failed" in their efforts. The "New York Times" clarifies that we are talking about Turkey, Iraq and Pakistan, which "disaffected islands are increasingly wary of US policy". The actions of the White House may hurt them no less than Tehran, the newspaper notes.
The countries neighboring Iran expressed concern in negotiations with the American authorities that the blocking of trade routes with the Islamic Republic could cause demonstrations by the civilian population "on both sides of the border".
