Speaking to reporters in northern city of Qazvin on Thursday, Rahmani Fazli said that in coordination with Iraqi authorities, the Khosravi border crossing on the western shared borders with Iraq will be reopened tomorrow to facilitate crossing for Arbaeen pilgrims during Arbaeen precessions.

Iran and Iraq had agreed previously to reopen the border crossing during this year’s Arbaeen, Mehr News Agency reported.
