Iraqi authorities reopened on Tuesday (November 10, 2026) a border crossing with Iran after closing it last month amid mounting U.S. pressure to isolate Tehran.<\/p>\n

The Iraqi government closed the Al-Sheeb crossing in Missan province in October. Two political sources told AFP <\/i>that the U.S. was pressuring Baghdad to close most crossings with neighbouring Iran.<\/p>\n

The head of Iraq’s border crossings authority, Alaa al-Waeli, told the state news agency (INA) that Al-Sheeb crossing would reopen Tuesday (November 10) morning after the completion of the “necessary procedures” required to resume operations and “ensure the smooth movement of travellers and goods”.<\/p>\n

He added that authorities would temporarily close the Al-Mandali border crossing in Diyala province starting on Friday for “maintenance”.<\/p>\n

The closure of the Al-Sheeb crossing sparked tensions between the cental government and local authorities in Missan, with several protests erupting over the shutdown of a key route.<\/p>\n

In September, Baghdad temporarily closed several crossings with Iran after authorities determined that an unclaimed drone attack on a Saudi pipeline originated from an area near Al-Sheeb.<\/p>\n

Pro-Iran armed groups have supported Tehran during the Middle East war, claiming hundreds of attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq and across the region.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
