US asks Iraq to shut most Iran border crossings, Iraqi foreign minister says
- Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said on Saturday that the United States formally requested Iraq close all but two border crossings with Iran, while Baghdad informed Tehran it rejects Iranian interference in its affairs.
- U.S. Central Command announced on Saturday the establishment of Task Force Iron Gate, aimed at preventing Iran from using land routes and the Caspian Sea to transport advanced weapons and sanctioned materials.
- This operation expands American efforts to restrict Tehran's access to financial networks; CENTCOM said its naval blockade has already prevented Iran from exporting more than $25 billion in crude oil in recent months.
- Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi is negotiating weapons control with armed factions, while authorities previously closed the Al-Sheeb, Shalamcheh, and Mandali crossings in September to review security and administrative procedures.
- Baghdad remains in contact with Tehran regarding Iraqi armed factions' weapons, arguing disarmament should occur through dialogue rather than force, though negotiations continue with Harakat Al-Nujaba and Kataib Hezbollah.
