Read the original article on reuters.com (opens in a new tab)Reuters reports, on the Iraqi foreign minister's word, that the US Treasury has asked Iraq to close all but two of its border crossings with Iran to raise economic pressure on Tehran. It keeps the claim attributed from headline to body and gives Iraq's own objection in Fuad Hussein's words. Nothing in this short report misleads its reader.
“Iraqi foreign minister says”
The headline keeps the US request attributed to the person who reported it, as the body does, rather than stating it as established fact.
“as part of Washington's policy of increasing economic pressure on Tehran”
Reuters names the policy purpose plainly as Washington's and keeps the whole request attributed to Hussein's interview with Al Jazeera.
“closing all of them would be difficult and would affect our economy”
Reuters gives the affected party's own account of the cost of the US demand in direct quotation, so the reader hears Iraq's position and not only Washington's request.
