Return of Arbaeen pilgrims from Iraq through Khosravi border point

Iranian Arbaeen pilgrims who had traveled to the holy shrines of Shia Imams in Iraq over the past three weeks are returning to Iran via the Khosravi border crossing in Kermanshah province. This border crossing, located in Qasr-e Shirin county, is an important gateway for pilgrims as it is only 300 kilometers away from the holy city of Karbala, where Imam Hussain’s holy shrine is located.
