Baghdad says Iraq-Kuwait border reopened after Iran attacks The Abdali border crossing between Kuwait and Iraq reopened on Sunday, Iraq’s state news agency has reported. The main land border between the two countries was temporarily closed after an unspecified drone attack last Thursday. The Kuwaiti army reported “material damages” after the strike. The Abdali border crossing is located in the northern Al-Jahra province in Kuwait.
IRGC says it’s acting against US-backed separatist groups Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it’s moving to “nip in the bud” separatist and opposition groups it accuses of trying to infiltrate the country’s northwest, casting recent military operations there as a pre-emptive strike against US-backed unrest. IRGC spokesperson Brigadier-General Hossein Mohebbi said Tehran is alert to what he called an “enemy plan” to reorganize anti-government factions, including the exiled Mojahden-e-Khalq, to reignite deadly protests that swept Iran in December and January. “What we are doing in the northwest is to nip them in the bud before they enter,” Mohebbi told the semi-official Tasnim news agency. He said the IRGC’s focus on the Strait of Hormuz, where it has been locked in a confrontation with the United States, had not left it blind to other threats. US President Donald Trump has acknowledged that Washington tried to send weapons to Iranian demonstrators via Kurdish intermediaries during the winter protests.
