BREAKING: Iraq will begin gradually closing all its border crossings with Iran in the coming days, starting today with al-Sheib, which is being completely shut indefinitely under orders from PM Ali al-Zaidi as a precaution due to fears of a US-Iran escalation, per an Iraqi official to Al Jazeera.
Pakistan closed its Taftan and Gabd-Rimdan crossings with Iran and suspended commercial trade a week ago.
Both of Iran’s neighbours are now sealing their land borders.
