伊拉克外長：美國要求伊拉克關閉多數伊朗邊境關卡

11月8日（路透）——伊拉克外交部長傅阿德・海珊接受半島電視台訪問時表示，美國財政部已要求伊拉克關閉與伊朗之間除兩處以外的所有邊境關卡，這是華府加大對德黑蘭經濟施壓政策的一環。Nov 8 (Reuters) - The US Treasury has asked Iraq to close all border crossings with Iran except for two as part of Washington's policy of increasing economic pressure on Tehran, Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said in an interview with Al Jazeera.

其中一處例外位於庫德斯坦地區。One of the exceptions is in the Kurdistan region.

海珊說：「伊朗邊境有許多官方與非官方關卡，要關閉所有關卡會有困難，也會影響我們的經濟。美國人仍要求關閉這些關卡，我們目前正與他們討論。」"There are many official and unofficial border crossings with Iran, and closing all of them would be difficult and would affect our economy. The Americans are still demanding the closure of the crossings, and we are currently in discussions with them," Hussein said.

上個月，伊拉克關閉了與伊朗之間繁忙的席布邊境關卡，以檢視安全狀況並安裝偵測設備，防止走私。Last month, Iraq closed the busy Sheeb border crossing with Iran to review security and install detection ‌equipment to stop smuggling.
