Shafaq News-
\nBasra<\/p>\n
Iranian
\nmissiles struck the Abdali border crossing between Kuwait and Iraq on Thursday,
\na security source in the southern Iraqi province of Basra told
\nShafaq News. <\/p>\n
The missiles
\ncrossed Iraqi airspace before landing inside the Kuwaiti crossing, according to
\nthe same source, who described the attack as retaliation for an earlier
\nbombardment of the Shalamcheh area inside Iranian territory.<\/p>\n
Kuwaiti
\nauthorities closed the crossing following the strike.<\/p>\n
The
\nShalamcheh crossing on the Iran-Iraq border came under missile attack early
\nThursday, killing two people and wounding 11, according to the deputy governor
\nof Iran’s Khuzestan province, who attributed the strike to the United States.
\nIranian media reported the casualties were pilgrims traveling to Iraq for
\nArbaeen commemorations. Iraqi authorities announced the resumption of
\noperations at the crossing after a temporary halt.<\/p>\n
Basra
\nprovince sits at Iraq’s southern tip, bordering Iran to the east and Kuwait to
\nthe south. Shalamcheh, on the Iranian border opposite Basra city, is a main
\ntransit point for Iranian pilgrims traveling to Shiite shrine cities in Iraq,
\nwhile Abdali, in Kuwait’s northern Al-Jahra province, is the principal
\nland crossing for passenger and freight traffic with Iraq and faces the Iraqi
\ncrossing at Safwan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026-07-23T10:55:34+00:00 font Enable Reading Mode A- A A+ Shafaq News- Basra Iranian missiles struck the Abdali border crossing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":779776,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,801,332204,14945,133,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-779775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-iran","tag-iranian-missiles-strike-kuwaits-border-crossing-through-iraq","tag-iraq","tag-kuwait","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/779775","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=779775"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/779775\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/779776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=779775"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=779775"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=779775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
