New York Times: failed US pressure to close border crossings with Iran

Iran ·

The New York Times, citing Iraqi officials and a US official, reported that Washington failed to persuade neighbouring countries of Iran to close their border crossings despite weeks of pressure. According to the officials, the Iron Gate task force will not carry out military operations and its role may be limited to pushing those states to tighten measures.

Iran shares long land borders with Iraq, Turkey, Pakistan and other states, and its crossings carry much of its trade. Washington has long pursued sanctions and pressure on Tehran over its nuclear programme and regional role.
