Although US sanctions against Iran are now effective, Commercial exchange between Iran and Kurdistan region through Bashmakh border terminal is still on since the officials there didn’t get any instructions to close it or to stop commercial deals between Iran and Kurdistan region. Merchants hoped that border won’t close because these commercial deals are how they make living, if these deals stop, merchants will suffer a lot.
