Azerbaijan, Baku, Feb. 18 / Trend M. Moezzi /
In the last 13 days Iran's border guards have found 13 tons of narcotics and 800 hunting rifles, the acting head of Iran's border patrol said.
Guards arrested also 55 arm smugglers and 10 narcotics smugglers.
Over the last day and a half, border patrol agents seized 750 kilograms of narcotics as smugglers tried to enter Iran.
Iran faces a constant challenge as it battles drug smuggling along its borders. Since the Iranian revolution nearly 4,000 border patrol guards have been killed in the fight against the drug trade.
