Iran's two strategic neighbors, Pakistan and Iraq, obeyed US orders and are now cutting off the main land routes connecting them with Iran. These restrictions block the flow of imports and exports between the Islamic Republic and its neighbors. The US has now effectively isolated Iran from its two main neighboring countries and is pushing it towards isolation from the rest of the world. The US and Israel are now preparing for possible major strikes against Iranian military and infrastructure targets. Iran has not yet responded to the position of the "friendly" countries of Iraq and Pakistan.
