巴士拉，10月21日 - 伊拉克关闭了与伊朗繁忙的Sheeb边境口岸，以加强安全检查并安装检测设备，防止违禁物资走私，一位伊拉克边境官员周三表示。
BASRA, Oct 21 - Iraq has closed the busy Sheeb border crossing with Iran to review security and install detection equipment to stop the smuggling of prohibited materials, an Iraqi border official said on Wednesday.
据该口岸的两位消息人士称，Sheeb口岸将对旅客、车辆和商用卡车关闭，直至另行通知。
Sheeb would be closed to passengers, vehicles and commercial trucks until further notice, two other sources at the crossing said.
伊朗西南部胡齐斯坦省的一位安全官员也表示，Sheeb口岸（在伊朗称为Chazabeh）将关闭，直至另行通知。据伊朗劳工新闻机构周三报道，这一决定是由伊拉克政府作出的。
A security official from Iran's southwestern Khuzestan province also said that the Sheeb crossing, known in Iran as Chazabeh, will be closed until further notice, adding that the decision was taken by the Iraqi government, the Iranian labour news agency reported on Wednesday.
这位伊朗官员Valiollah Hayati表示，伊朗内政部与伊拉克省级当局正在就恢复口岸运营进行协商。
The Iranian official, Valiollah Hayati, said consultations to resume operations at the border crossing were ongoing between Iran's Interior Ministry and Iraqi provincial authorities.
两位安全消息人士称，当时伊拉克曾因无人机袭击沙特阿拉伯而暂时关闭了同属胡齐斯坦省的Shalamcheh口岸作为预防措施。
Hayati advised passengers and trucks to use Shalamcheh crossing, also in Khuzestan province, which Iraq closed temporarily in September as a precaution after drone attacks on Saudi Arabia, two security sources said at the time. Riyadh said the drones had been launched from Iraq, which did not comment on the matter.
这位伊拉克边境官员告诉路透社，Sheeb口岸目前的安全措施薄弱且不足。
The current security measures at Sheeb are weak and inadequate, the Iraqi border crossing official told Reuters.
