Routine operations continue at most of Iran's land border crossings

Mehr News Agency correspondents across Iran have reported that routine operations continue at the majority of the country's land border gates. Only a few crossings in the southwest and west have faced restrictions on the movement of passengers and commodities. Meanwhile, traffic at Iran's eastern and northwestern borders is proceeding as normal, with the transport of goods and the movement of passengers continuing without interruption.

The developments come weeks after Washington announced tough sanctions against any financial trade with Iran, a move described in the report as a hostile action. The Iraqi government also restricted the Chazzabeh and Shalamcheh border crossings in southwest Iran starting yesterday. According to the report, the restrictions were imposed under pressure from the United States following an alleged attack on an East-West oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia from Iraqi soil. The Americans blame resistance groups in Iraq for the attack.

Iraqi movement groups have categorically rejected the attack on Saudi Arabia, despite what the report describes as last month's aggression on their bases. The report did not provide further details on the nature of the restrictions or the duration of the closures at Chazzabeh and Shalamcheh.

Iran shares border gates with 15 neighboring countries. The report indicates that while some western and southwestern crossings are affected, the broader picture shows that most land borders remain operational for both goods and passengers. The restrictions at Chazzabeh and Shalamcheh appear to be isolated measures linked to regional tensions and external pressure.

According to Mehr News Agency, the situation at Iran's borders remains largely routine, with only limited disruptions reported. The agency's correspondents across the country confirmed that eastern and northwestern borders are functioning normally, and no further restrictions have been reported at other crossings.
