According to the Iranian border guards, a group of smugglers armed with hand grenades recently crossed the border into a neighboring country. As a result, some of their weapons and ammunition were left behind, as reported by the Mehr news agency. Goodarzi, a spokesperson, revealed that these smugglers were involved in subversive activities within Iran and clashed with the border guards during the operation. Several members of the group were injured and managed to flee to the neighboring country. The commander of the border guards further stated that a significant amount of smuggling equipment, including narcotics, weapons, communication devices, and drones, were confiscated. These events unfolded in the Nehbandan region of South Khorasan province, near the Afghan-Iranian border.
