Tehran, IRNA – Minister of Interior Ahmad Vahidi has termed Iran’s eastern borders as important for the country's security as he insists that Iran is continuing with a project to building barriers along its eastern borders.

"There were plans in the past to build barriers along these borders but they were not perfect," Vahidi told IRNA on Monday.

"The plan for building barriers is still underway ... the armed forces are building a combination of physical and electronic barriers in eastern borders," he said.
