BAKU: Mahiroud border-customs checkpoint in South Khorasan province in northeastern Iran has been closed, the statement of Iran’s Customs Administration said, Trend reports.

Additionally, it is reported that the passage of trucks through the Mahiroud border customs checkpoint has been suspended.

The Customs Administration noted that due to the great importance of the border-customs point for transit transportation, Iran’s Foreign Ministry and the leadership of South Khorasan Province are working to reactivate the point on the border.

To note, Afghanistan arrested six Iranian border guards on April 25, alleging that they had illegally crossed into their country’s territory. A few hours later, on the same day, the Iranian border guards were released under an agreement between the two sides.
