BAGHDAD, September 13, 2026 (Nosheen): Iraq has announced the reopening of three border crossings with Iran after they were temporarily closed following a drone attack on a Saudi oil pipeline. Iraqi authorities said the Al-Shib border crossing would reopen to passengers on Sunday, while passenger movement would also resume at the Shalamcheh border crossing in Basra province. Officials further said commercial activities at Shalamcheh are expected to resume by the end of the current week. The crossings are important routes for passenger movement and trade between Iraq and Iran, and their reopening is expected to restore travel and commercial activity disrupted by the temporary closures. Iraqi officials did not provide further details about the reopening or whether additional security measures had been introduced. The development comes amid heightened regional security concerns following the attack on Saudi energy infrastructure.
