According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, protesters in Iraq's Maysan province have intensified their demonstrations against the continued closure of border crossings with Iran, threatening to block oil tankers from reaching oil companies in an effort to pressure authorities to reopen the Al-Sheib border crossing. Protesters are demanding immediate intervention from the Iraqi government and relevant departments to resolve the crisis caused by the border closure. In September, after confirming attacks against Saudi Arabia originating from Maysan province, Iraq briefly closed three border crossings with Iran to inspect for security vulnerabilities. These crossings are crucial trade corridors between Iraq and Iran, handling a large volume of goods, commodities, and people crossing the border.
