Khorasan Razavi Police Chief Second Brigadier General Ebrahim Ghorbani said on Monday his forces were informed by the local sources of a big haul being conveyed from the eastern borders toward the central and northern parts of the country.
After a series of intelligence operations, he said, the anti-narcotics police tracked and stopped a heavy truck on the main routes to Mashhad, finding 1,360 kilograms of opium in the vehicle.
Being a neighbor to the biggest producer of drugs in the world has caused the Islamic Republic of Iran to shoulder a heavy burden as one of the main routes for drug transport.
