The Sistan-Baluchestan Police Chief Brigadier Mohammad Qanbari told IRNA that the gangs had nine members, all of whom were arrested.
The Police also seized large numbers of weapons and five vehicles from the two organized gangs in the cities of Khash and Iranshahr, Qanbari said.
According to Iranian officials, having a border with Afghanistan in the east of the country, Iran is on the route of illegal drug transit to Europe and the country has not been secured against such illegal activities.
Iran is the main trafficking route from Afghanistan, the supplier of over 90 percent of the world's opium, and Pakistan to European and Asian countries.
Once, Iran's head of the anti-drug committee said in January 2022 that the anti-narcotic campaign being carried out by the Islamic Republic of Iran Police is unrivaled in the world.
