Acting Commander of Iran’s Coastguard Colonel Nader Soheili also told IRNA on Monday that the haul was being carried by two vessels in Arvand River along the Iran-Iraq border. Fuel prices in Iran are considerably lower than in neighboring countries, which tempt smugglers to illegally sell it to them, according to Financial Tribune.
