Iran–Pakistan border barrier

The primary goal is to prevent unauthorized border crossings and minimize the trafficking of illegal goods.

The objectives of the barrier are to deter unlawful border crossings and curtail the influx of illegal drugs.

[4] The wall is being constructed to stop illegal border crossings[5] and stem the flow of drugs,[6] and is also a response to terror attacks, notably the one in the Iranian border town of Zahedan on February 17, 2007, which killed 13 people, including nine Iranian Revolutionary Guard officials.

[7] However Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam denied any link between the fence and the bomb blast, saying that Iran was not blaming these incidents on Pakistan.

The project will include large earth and stone embankments and deep ditches to deter illegal trade crossings and drug smuggling to both side.

[14][15][16] Despite the presence of barricades and the sophisticated Taftan portal, a significant amount of illegal goods managed to pass through.

Due to restricted crossings, numerous pickup trucks, locally referred to as "zambad," have been stranded at the Pakistan-Iran border for the past month, enduring uncomfortable heat and hunger.

[18][19][20] Iran and Pakistan have established a collaborative working group to oversee border management, encompassing security, trade, and travel matters between both nations.
