Iraq closes southern border crossing with Iran
2019-11-17
[THEBAGHDADPOST] Iraq has closed its southern border crossing with Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
to travelers because of protest actions in both countries, The Baghdad Post reported quoting an Iraqi security official.

According to the source, Tehran had demanded the closure because of protests. The border will be closed until further notice.

Iran's demonstrations broke out hours after it was announced the price of petrol would be increased by 50 per cent for the first 60 litres and 300 per cent for anything above that each month.
