The head of Iraq's border crossings authority said the Al-Shaib (Chazabeh) crossing will reopen from the morning of Tuesday, 10 November 2026, once the required technical procedures are completed. He added that the Mandali (Somar) crossing will be closed temporarily from this coming Friday while final technical requirements are finished. ISNA carried the report, citing Iraq's Al Sumaria News. Iraq's government announced on 20 October 2026 that the Chazabeh crossing with Iran was closed until further notice, citing a lack of readiness and technical problems; Iran's interior ministry criticised the decision, saying it had not been informed in advance. Trade continued through several other crossings on the Iran-Iraq border.
