Iraq will temporarily close the Mandali border crossing with Iran starting Friday to complete technical requirements, according to the state news agency. The closure affects one of the overland trade corridors between the two countries, though no duration was specified. Mandali sits in Diyala province along a route used for bilateral goods traffic. The shutdown matters for importers and exporters relying on road freight between Iraq and Iran, who may need to reroute through alternative crossings. Watch for a reopening date and any guidance on diverted trade flows.
