“The figure has increased by 10.8 tons, showing a 9% rise compared to the same period last year,” said Arastou Torkaman-Manesh in an interview with Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).

He added that the seized consignments were not to be distributed in Bushehr Province, but to be transitted and used in neighboring countries.
