Iran Press/ Iran news: Attending a press briefing after the National Task Force for Combatting Coronavirus meeting on Tuesday, Ahmad Vahidi stated that consultations are underway with Iraqi officials for visa waivers at land borders.
"Travel through the land border to Iraq is not possible without a visa, and pilgrims must have a visa," he said.
Regarding the recent developments on the Dogharoon border crossing in northeastern Iran, the Iranian interior minister also pointed out that the problems on the border were the result of a misunderstanding created by some local Afghan officials.
Vahidi highlighted that the necessary reprimands have been issued to the local officials of Afghanistan, and expressed hope that these officials would pay attention to the friendship between the two nations and would not allow this friendship to be damaged.
Dogharoon border crossing in Taybad, Khorasan Razavi Province, was closed on Saturday due to some behaviors contrary to border principles, which was reopened after negotiations.
Having a century-long history, Dogharoon Customs is active in export, import, transit and passenger commute.
