The Wall Street Journal reports Iraq and Pakistan have cut or restricted key land corridors into Iran, compounding US naval blockades and strict sanctions on airlines that have already severed most maritime and air links. Iraq on Wednesday closed the Sheeb border crossing, which connects the two countries’ largest oil-producing provinces; Baghdad said the move is aimed at strengthening anti-smuggling enforcement. Over the weekend Pakistan intercepted trucks from Iran at the Gabd and Taftan crossings—previously used as overland routes to Iran’s largest eastern port—and on Friday Pakistan’s foreign ministry said the actions were related to sanctions enforcement. These measures have further intensified economic pressure on Iran.
