In the year 2000 officials of the Iranian Roads and Transportation Ministry and their Iraqi counterparts reached an agreement for the transit of passenger and cargo on the Kermanshah-Khosravi Road as part of land transportation link between the two countries.^[13] The resurfacing of 4.2 km of the return lanes of the 10th section of the Karbala highway situated between Qasr-e Shirin and Khosravi began on 6 June 2022. This section is a divided highway using guard rails.^[14] Khosravi is considered to be the end of the Asian Highway Route 2, which goes all the way to Singapore.

Border terminal

The Khosravi border terminal was inaugurated in March 2002 with a capacity of 10,000 travelers per day.^[15] Construction work for the border terminal had begun in 1998.^[16]^[13] The terminal comprises a customs office as well as passenger and cargo corridors.^[13] It was announced as the largest land border terminal in Iran and the middle east and still is.^[17] The border is known as Manzarieh/Munthrya on the Iraqi side of the border.^[18]^[19] Two 3-star hotels were opened in 2011 to accommodate mainly Iranian religious tourists crossing the border.^[20]^[21] In 2013, 2,000 Iranian pilgrims crossed the Khosravi border terminal to reach Iraq every day, according to the then governor of the Iranian city of Qasr-e Shirin.^[22] This number was 3,000 for Iraqi pilgrims crossing into Iran in September 2019.

Khosravi border terminal, 19 km to the southwest of Qasr-e Shirin, mostly overlooks and interacts with the Arab region of Iraq and is open from 7 AM to 4:30 PM, unlike Parviz border terminal, closely located to the north of the county center and mainly in contact with the Kurdish region of Iraq. It is open 24 hours a day.^[23] According to the latest figures, in the first three months of the Iranian solar year 1402, the number of people entering the country was 27,315 and the number of exists stood at 23,577.
