Member of Maysan council warns of losses from closure of Shaib crossing with Iran and demands immediate reopening

Maysan, Iraq ·

Hussein al-Mayrani, a member of Maysan provincial council, said the continued closure of the Shaib (Jadhba) border crossing with Iran has caused major economic losses and pushed up prices of goods and food. He demanded the crossing be reopened immediately, warning that a prolonged closure would further harm Maysan's economy and neighbouring provinces.

Iran is one of Iraq's largest trading partners, and land crossings on the shared border carry much of the goods traded between the two countries, so closures quickly affect local markets. Maysan is a southern Iraqi province that borders Iran.
