The Sheeb Border Crossing between Iraq and Iran has reopened for service.

Iraq reopened the al-Shaib border crossing with Iran on Tuesday morning after completing required technical and procedural work, restoring a key trade link between the two neighbors. The crossing had been closed, and its resumption follows the completion of necessary administrative and technical steps, according to the report. The move matters for bilateral commerce and for supply chains that rely on overland routes between Iraq and Iran. What to watch next is whether traffic and trade volumes normalize at the crossing and whether the reopening eases the flow of goods through the border.
