Hassan Asur, an analyst on Middle East issues, pointed out the difference in the approach of Iraq, Turkey and Pakistan in cooperation with Washington to control Iran's borders and said that Iraq's financial dependence on America increases the possibility of putting pressure on Baghdad. He added that Turkey and Pakistan are also looking for military and political concessions against cooperation with Washington.
Ashur also emphasized that the US government's conflicting messages regarding negotiations with the Islamic Republic and the possibility of ending the war could reduce the willingness of Iran's neighboring countries to cooperate with Washington.
