Head of Yazd Anti-Drug Coordinating Department Commander Mohammad Hossein Sotoodehnia said five drug traffickers also have been arrested.

He added that the drug traffickers planned to transfer the opium from south of Iran to Yazd Province and then transport it to other cities across the country.

Iran's drug combat squads seized over 30 tons of illicit drugs in the central province of Yazd in the last Iranian year (ended March 20, 2018).
