Iraqi Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) commanders deployed along the Iraq-Syria border on Saturday dismissed what they described as threats from Damascus-affiliated forces, saying Iraq’s borders are secure as Baghdad steps up measures to prevent a spillover of instability from Syria.

Iraq has four main commercial ports: Umm Qasr, Al Maqal Port (Port of Basra), Khor al-Zubayr, and Abu Flous ports. From January to April of this year, the revenue of these ports was more than 418.2 billion dinars.
