US Demands Iraq Shut Most Iran Border Crossings
🛤️ BAGHDAD — Washington is asking Baghdad to cut Tehran's land lifeline while Bessent calls Beijing. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Closing Iraq-Iran crossings targets the terrestrial supply corridor CENTCOM activated as a third front days ago. It also tests Baghdad's loyalty — Iraq trades heavily with Iran. If Baghdad complies, Iran loses resupply routes for IRGC assets in Syria and Lebanon. If it refuses, Washington has its answer on who Iraq actually serves.
