Khosravi Border Crossing
Khosravi is a confirmed border crossing near Qasr-e Shirin. Its documented functions combine customs clearance and transit services for goods with passenger and pilgrim facilities. Khosravi should be distinguished from the closely associated but distinct Parvizkhan Border Terminal.
Strategic and market-access role
Khosravi Border Crossing is a significant western gateway in the Hormuz Graph because it links Kermanshah Province to Iraq through the Qasr-e Shirin border economy, connecting road freight, customs activity, pilgrim movement, trade services, and warehousing demand. Its role differs from Bashmaq’s Iraqi Kurdistan orientation: Khosravi is more tied to central Iraq-facing routes and Kermanshah’s position as a western logistics base. The asset connects merchants, transport operators, border-service firms, and export-import flows in a sanctions- and compliance-sensitive corridor. Provides road-based market access between Iran and Iraq, with particular relevance to non-oil exports to Iraq and travel to Iraqi holy sites including Najaf and Karbala.
