Tehran, IRNA – Iranian Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi has dismissed rumors of building a border wall between Iran and Afghanistan, saying there are no such plans.

“There is no plan to build a wall; The issue of blocking the border is what we are pursuing,” Vahidi said on the sidelines of a weekly cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

Iran has called for joint efforts with Afghanistan to secure the joint border areas amid intermittent attacks by terrorists at border crossings.
