Sources: Iran closes its land border with the region



Media sources confirmed on Sunday that the Islamic Republic closed its land borders with the Kurdistan region today.


"The Islamic Republic of Iran decided today to close all its land borders with the Kurdistan region of Iraq," Meayadeen said in an emergency report on its sources.


In the same context, Turkish Prime Minister Ben Ali Yildirim said in a previous press statement that "Turkey is considering steps regarding its border crossings and airspace in response to the referendum on the independence of Iraqi Kurds."

It is noteworthy that the Islamic Republic of Iran and Turkey has called for the Iraqi government to close its air ports in front of aircraft coming from the airports of Erbil and Sulaymaniyah two weeks ago.
