The Border Ports Authority announced on Tuesday the reopening of the Al-Shaib border crossing starting this morning, noting the closure of the Mandali border crossing starting next Friday. The head of the Border Ports Authority, Lieutenant General Omar Al-Waeli, stated in a statement, “The Al-Shaib border crossing will be reopened starting Tuesday morning after completing the necessary technical requirements and procedures.” He added, “It has been decided to close the Mandali border crossing starting next Friday temporarily, in order to complete the technical requirements.”
The Iraqi government had decided, on October 20, to close the Al-Shaib border crossing until further notice, which provoked the displeasure of the Iranian Interior Ministry, which confirmed that it had not received prior notification of the decision from Baghdad.
