Colonel Hassan Sheikh Nezhad made the announcement on Monday, saying that patrol officers suspected one tank-truck and stopped it at the checkpoint of Miandoab -Tabriz road.
The tank-truck consisting of 30,000 smuggled Kerosene was seized, he said, adding that one smuggler has been also arrested in the operation and handed to judiciary officials.
As reported in early June, Iran has launched a border market to sell diesel fuel to buyers in Pakistan and Afghanistan to counter smuggling of fuel ate border areas.
