Iraq and Syria reopen major border crossing retaken from Daesh in 2017

Security forces are seen at the Iraqi-Syrian border, after it has been reopened for trade and travel, in Al Qaim, Iraq September 30, 2019.

The opening of the crossing signified "the victory of the Iraqi and Syrian people over all terrorist groups, especially Daesh," saidIt would revitalise Syrian-Iraqi economic cooperation, said Iraqi border authority chief Khadhim al Ikabi, who like Rahmoun was attending a ceremony with local governors of provinces on both sides of the border, a Reuters news agency journalist said.

The Syrian regime, with strong backing from Iran-backed militias captured Albukamal on the Euphrates River from Daesh towards the end of 2017. Tensions escalated after the US withdrew last year from a 2015 nuclear deal and reinstated sanctions against Tehran.
