Governor of Dasht-e Azadegan Hossein Silavi said the border crossing resumed its commercial operations on Sunday morning (July 26) with strict health protocols in place.

He noted that Chazzabeh border crossing will be open all weekdays, except on official holidays.

On July 23, Khosravi border crossing (called Manzarieh on the Iraqi side) also resumed its commercial operations in a bid to facilitate the challenged exchanges between the two countries.

Khosravi border crossing links Iran’s Kermanshah province and Iraq’s Diyala Governorate.

The borders of Tamarchin, Parvizkhan, and Bashmaq between the two countries remain closed to commercial exchanges.
