The Iraqi member of parliament: there is no justification for continuing to close the crossings with Iran/ the government should not give in to American pressure.

The Iraqi member of parliament stated that there is no justification for repeatedly closing the border crossings with Iran.

Mokhtar al-Moussawi, a member of the Iraqi parliament, emphasized that there is no justification for repeatedly closing the border crossings between Iraq and Iran.

He warned that the closing of the crossings with Iran has many consequences and negative effects on the markets due to the scope of the commercial and economic exchanges between the two countries.

Al-Moussawi said: The repetition of the border crossings between Iraq and Iran raises many questions and despite the justifications presented by the Iraqi government, the reality emphasizes that foreign (American) pressure may be behind the frequent closing of the crossings.

He noted that these decisions have consequences for the markets, especially considering the fact that we are witnessing economic and commercial exchanges at different border crossings and at different averages.

Al-Mousavi emphasized that it is necessary to keep the border crossings away from the case of foreign pressures and to consider the interests of the citizens above all.
