据伊朗塔斯尼姆通讯社报道，伊拉克米桑省民众因与伊朗边境口岸持续关闭而加大抗议力度，并威胁阻止运油罐车驶往石油公司，以此向有关当局施压，要求重新开放谢卜口岸（Al-Sheib）。抗议者要求伊拉克政府及相关部门立即介入，尽快解决该口岸关闭引发的危机。今年9月，在确认从米桑省境内曾发起针对沙特阿拉伯的袭击后，伊拉克方面短暂关闭三个与伊朗的边境口岸以检查安全漏洞。该口岸是伊拉克与伊朗之间非常繁忙的边贸走廊，承担着两国间大量的大宗物资往来、商品贸易以及人员跨境通行的功能。

CENTCOM said on Nov. 7 local time US forces intercepted and disabled a merchant vessel in the Gulf of Oman that had previously called at Iranian ports after its crew repeatedly ignored warnings and attempted to breach a maritime blockade against Iran.

The vessel, identified as Huda, was flagged to St Kitts and Nevis.
