Colonel Javad Khajepour said that 70,000 liters of smuggled fuel have been confiscated from three heavy-duty trucks.
Five defendants have been detained in this regard, he added.
Subsidized fuel in Iran is seen as an opportunity for smugglers to draw huge benefits. Iran, however, re-imposed using fuel cards and rationed gasoline back in November 2019 which was aimed in part to take the smuggling under control.
