Unconfirmed reports indicate explosions were heard at the Abdali border crossing, which connects Iraq and Kuwait, as the Iraqi Prime Minister is in Tehran for an official meeting with the Iranian President.
Unverified reports from the region describe explosions at the Abdali border crossing between Iraq and Kuwait, occurring while Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani was in Tehran for a meeting with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. According to Abu Ali Express, Iran attacked the crossing, framing it as retaliation for a US strike on the Shalamcheh border crossing overnight. Shalamcheh, which connects Iran and Iraq, lies about 50 km from Abdali. No official confirmation from Iraqi or Kuwaiti authorities has been issued, and casualty or damage reports are not yet available. The Zioneer reported at 13:45 that Iran described the attack as a reciprocal action: 'border crossing for border crossing.'
