US Demands Iraq Close Border Crossings with Iran

The Iraqi Foreign Minister revealed that the US has officially requested Iraq to close all border crossings with Iran, except for two. This demand comes amidst warnings of a potential renewed war in the region, with Iraq having incurred around $60 billion in losses due to the halt of oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz. Iraq has informed Iran of its acceptance of friendship and alliance but rejects any interference in its internal affairs. Baghdad also possesses information about external parties using Iraqi territory to attack neighboring countries.
