Jordan border crossing with Iraq to reopen Wed.
Jordan border crossing with Iraq
Baghdad - Egypt Today
Jordan will re-open its main border crossing with Iraq on Wednesday for the first time since 2015, after the Iraqi forces have gained control of the main highway to Baghdad from Daesh militants, The Jordan Times reported.
Iraqi troops had pulled out of the Turaibil post in the summer of 2014 after the militants secured nearly all the official crossings of the western frontier as they swept through a third of the country.
Commercial traffic continued for a year after Iraq launched an offensive in July 2015 to reclaim the area and deprive the militants of funds raised from truck drivers forced to pay on cargo coming in from Jordan.
Officials say customs and border arrangements have been finalized, with security measures in place to ensure the 550km highway from the border to Baghdad was safe.
