Iraq to reopen Iran crossings after drone attack
IRAQ: Iraqi authorities announced on Sunday a timeline to reopen three crossings with Iran, a day after closing them following a drone attack originating from their shared border on a Saudi pipeline.
After the Friday night attack on the East-West pipeline, Baghdad sacked the military commander in Missan province near the Iran border, after authorities determined the drones were launched from there.
The government then closed three crossings, citing the need to reorganise operations and boost intelligence efforts to stop violations.
